A report from Netcraft today points to a phishing Web site that is being hosted on MySpace.com. The page, which is still active, asks users to provide their MySpace username and password to access premium content. Hitting Login, however, sends your credentials to a server hosted in Ireland that Netcraft has identified as being involved in phishing attacks.
The attack is noteable because it does not use suspect techniques like cross site scripting to fool users. Instead, plain old HTML is used to bury the MySpace.com content on the page and provide the simple login screen for users. That means that automated tools that Myspace uses to look for malicious content may not clue into the ruse.
While MySpace profiles wont yield credit card numbers and bank accounts, and aren’t the treasure troves that, say, online brokerage accounts are, they can be used to spread malicious code or to craft even more sophisticated spear phishing attacks later on.
MySpace has been informed of the attack but apparently hasn’t gotten around to taking it down yet. Let’s hope they do soon!

One handy software I usually use at home while downloading a lot of stuff is AnalogX NetStat Live.
Sometimes you just got to know how much download speed you are getting and upload speed you are providing.
This is especially when downloading P2P stuff where you have to share some of your bandwidth in order to get from others.
When there is too many upload and downloads at one time, it is good to know what the exact speed for both downloads and uploads.
NetStat Live has a simple UI, which at a glance you already know how much is your download and upload speed and even the total of incoming and outgoing data. Along with it, it will show the number of threads that are active in your PC and the CPU utilization. Just like a summary table that you can quickly see to know about the general condition of your PC. Now that is useful, plus it is free 
But now it seems AnalogX has stopped its software developments. I just went into their website and the latest updates from them is one year ago! This is really unfortunate since AnalogX has produced many nifty little softwares that simply works.
