For those of you who are interested to see the website, BE CAREFULL as the hacker put trojan script / virus that may do harm to your computer. My Antivirus detected the trojan as “Exploit-MS06-014” & “VBS/Psyme“. That virus only got caught when I browsed the website using IE, but not Firefox

Oh man I’m a webmaster too, managing few websites that feed me and my family. Hope the hacker was kind enough that he did not delete any data from the server.

Patch – Backup – Pray

I was just wanted to check out the latest news for my lovely city, Batam, on the internet. The first source would be from local online newspaper website, isn’t it

Hellooooo … Anybody home?

Latest buzz in Batam was about ATM Skimmer.

What is an ATM Skimmer? Thanks to Tech-Faq.

An ATM skimmer is a portable card reader that thieves attach to the front of a legitimate ATM (Automatic Teller Machine). The ATM skimmer is disguised as a normal ATM card reader.

ATM customers are tricked into inserting their ATM cards into the skimmer and entering their PIN codes on the keypads. The keypads are either replaced, or a hidden camera is placed to record the customers PIN as it is entered on the keypad.

The ATM skimmer either stores the card data, or uses a wireless transmitter to send it to a nearby receiver. Once the thieves have the data from the ATM card and the PIN, they can create a duplicate card and use it to withdraw money from the customers accounts.
