Hi Granny!
Welcome to Chicago politics. LOL, never a dull moment around here.
Our Gov. Blago is a totally corrupt sociopath. Of course so was our previous Gov. who’s currently in prison.
You think they’d learn!

Online payment site hijacked by crime gang
Dan Goodin, The Register 2008-12-04
Online payment service CheckFree lost control of at least two of its domains on Tuesday in an attack that sent customers to servers run by a notorious crime gang believed to be based in Eastern Europe.
“ I always pay my bills on the first of the month and I can’t get into your website to pay my bills and this will make them late. ”
A complaint posted online by an alleged CheckFree customer
Reg reader Richard D. reported receiving a bogus secure sockets layer certificate when attempting to log in to his Mycheckfree.com account early Tuesday morning. On further examination, he discovered the site was mapping to 91.203.92.63. To confirm the redirection was an internet-wide problem, he checked the site using a server in another part of the US and got the same result.
“I managed to get through to a commercial customer support tech, and reported the problem,” Richard wrote in an email sent early Tuesday morning. “He was not aware of any problem.”
The account is consistent with results of passive DNS search queries such as this one from bfk.de. Spamhaus shows precisely the same thing here.
Security experts say the 91.203.92.63 IP address has long served as a conduit for online crime. Spamhaus offers this laundry list of alleged dirty deeds that includes running botnet command channels and various drive-by download sites. According to security researcher Paul Ferguson of anti-virus software provider Trend Micro, the IP address was recently observed handing off booby-trapped PDF files that infected those unfortunate enough to open them.
According to bfk.de, Spamhaus, and SpyNoMore, several other web addresses are also being redirected to that IP address, including phgainc.org, brachetti.com, and camouflageclothingonline.net.
It’s unclear how long checkfree.com and mycheckfree.com were redirected to the rogue servers or whether customers have been warned they may have been compromised. CheckFree spokeswoman Melanie M. Tolley declined to provide details except to say that the company took steps to correct the hijacking at about 8 a.m. California time on Tuesday. The impostor website was shut down about five hours later, she said.
Company employees are in the process of warning customers that they may have visited a malicious website masquerading as CheckFree.
“It is taking time to determine exactly what type of malware we might be dealing with but we are currently working on a program update that provides information to the customers about the incident and maintenance tips recommending that all of our users run scans with Symantec’s scan utility, and install the latest patches for Adobe Reader, as well as make a regular practice of keeping their computer updated with the latest anti-virus software,” Tolley wrote in an email.

Today’s Cool Site...
Share videos with the troops
YouTube is one of the hottest Web sites on the ‘Net. But not everybody is enamored with the video-sharing site.
The Defense Department has banned soldiers from using YouTube. Why? It’s all in the interest of national security.
So, military families may be wondering how to share videos. Fortunately, the military has launched its own video-sharing site.
Videos posted to TroopTube are screened by Pentagon employees. They’re checked for copyright violations and taste. National security is also considered, of course.
With Christmas almost here, it’s the perfect time to check out TroopTube. Share your holiday wishes with family members stationed overseas.
Or, simply post a video to all of our troops. Thank them for all their hard work and the sacrifices they have made!

I'm glad you remembered the issue.
Lots of familiar names, like I told you. LOL
It's a complete incestuous cesspool around here.

Intelligence Note
Prepared by the Internet Crime
Complaint Center (IC3)
December 10, 2008
Flurry of Spam Targeting the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Consumers continue to be inundated by spam purportedly from the
FBI. As with previous spam attacks, the latest versions use the names
of several high ranking executives within the FBI and even the IC3 to attempt to
defraud consumers.
Many of the spam e-mails currently in circulation claim to be an “official order”
from the FBI’s Anti-Terrorist and Monetary Crimes Division, from an alleged FBI
unit in Nigeria, confirm an inheritance or contain a lottery notification, all informing
recipients they have been named the beneficiary of millions of dollars.
To claim the large sum, recipients are instructed to furnish their personally identifiable
information (PII)
and are often threatened with some type of penalty, such as prosecution, if they
fail to do so. Specific PII information requested includes, but is not
limited to, the recipient’s name, banking information, telephone number, and a copy
of their passport.
The spam e-mail allegedly from the IC3 states that the recipient has extorted money
and will be given a limited amount of time to refund the money or face prosecution.
Do not respond. These e-mails are a hoax.
The FBI does not send unsolicited e-mails of this nature. FBI Executives are briefed
on numerous investigations but do not personally contact consumers regarding such
matters. In addition, the IC3 does not send threatening letters to consumers demanding
payments for Internet crimes.
Consumers should not respond to any unsolicited e-mails or click on any embedded
links associated with such e-mails, as they may contain viruses or malware.
It is imperative consumers guard their PII. Providing your PII will compromise your
identity!
If you have been a victim of Internet crime, please file a complaint at
www.IC3.gov.
