Panda Security Compiles List of Decades Most Popular Web Scams
Let’s cut right to the chase — according to security firm Panda Security, the infamous Nigerian scam ranks as the decade’s most popular online ploy to swindle victims.
“This was the first type of scam to appear on the Internet and continues to be widely used by cybercriminals today,” Panda Security says.
Coming in second are lottery-based scams, in which potential victims receive an email claiming that they won the lottery. The ones that fall for it end up sending out something like $1,000 to supposedly cover bank related fees and other expenses in order to transfer the winnings, only the victim never sees a dime.
“As with all the classic scams that predate the Internet, many of the numerous users that fall for these tricks and lose their money are reticent to report the crime,” says Luis Corrons, technical director of Panda Labs. “If recovering the stolen money was difficult in the old days, it is even harder now because criminals’ tracks are often lost across the Web. The best defense is to learn how to identify these scams an avoid taking the bait.”

Chrome Browser Turns Two, Skips the Terrible Stage
Browsers grow up so fast, don’t they? Just a short while ago, Google Chrome was nothing more than an idea, and now it’s a spunky two-year-old browser with a 7.52 percent share of the market, trailing only Internet Explorer (60.40 percent) and Firefox (22.93 percent). To celebrate the occasion, Google has gone and released a new version of its open source browser, Chrome 6.
“Today, we’re releasing a new stable version of Chrome that is even faster and more streamlined,” Google wrote in a blog post. “Chrome is now three times faster than it was two years ago on JavaScript performance. We’ve also been working on simplifying the ‘chrome’ of Chrome. As you can see, we took the already minimalist user interface and stripped it down a bit more to make it easier to use.”
Chrome’s two menus are now combined into one, and Google slightly “adjusted the color scheme of the browser to be easier on the eyes.” Not yet part of the package is hardware acceleration, though Google says it’s in the pipeline.
You can get the update by clicking on the wrench icon and selecting ‘About Google Chrome,’ or grab the download from here.

UAE To Block BlackBerry Services
We can think of several items that should be included in the ultimate spy kit, most of them fake, but totally awesome gadgets conceived by Hollywood. Out in the real world, however, it’s those pesky BlackBerry devices that hav the United Arab Emirates in a tizzy.
Starting October 11, the UAE will block all BlackBerry email, messaging, and Web services so long as authorities are unable to access the encrypted data. Doing so will effectively hamstring about 500,000 local subscribers and have BlackBerry toting tourists thinking twice about their travel destination.
The reason for the hard stance has to do with concerns over espionage and fear of information sharing. Dubai’s police chief, Lt. Gen. Dahi Kahlfan Tamim said the restrictions are also “meant to control false rumors and defamation of public figures due to the absence of surveillance.”
The UEA isn’t alone here. India has given RIM 60 days to allow authorities to monitor BlackBerry traffic, while Saudi Arabia has concerns of its own, though did allow services to continue last month following “positive developments” in talks with RIM.

HP Goes Gunning for Second Place in Netbook Sector
Hewlett Packard (HP) expects to become the world’s second largest supplier of netbooks in 2011, and should the company get there, they should consider sending a bottle of Cristal to Intel, the world’s No. 1 chip maker. It only seems fitting, considering Intel just shipped a large number of its new dual-core Atom N550 processors to HP for $65, representing a significant 25 percent savings over the chip’s official $86 price tag.
As it currently stands, Acer, Samsung, and Asus are the three largest netbook suppliers in the world, in that order. MSI could have been in the mix too, but the company is putting on the brakes somewhat citing concerns over market demand for dual-core netbooks. Instead, MSI is reportedly stepping back to focus on single-core units, and eventually will exit the market in favor of traditional notebooks.
