FatCow Announces Eco-Friendly Giveaway

(The Hosting News) – FatCow has recently launched a ”moovelous” giveaway, “Host Smart, Drive Smart!” A few lucky winners will drive away with a smart fortwo coupe, a Vespa scooter, or one of four Shwinn bikes.

The “Host Smart, Drive Smart” giveaway is an extension of FatCow’s ongoing commitment to the environment. FatCow takes pride in being a “green” company. Staff members, affectionately called the Moo Crew, care about minimizing the carbon footprint they leave on this planet, and they encourage their web hosting customers to do the same. All of FatCow’s datacenters are powered by 100% wind energy, which means anyone who creates a site through them is green as well.

The giveaway was initiated by a member of the original Moo Crew, Sophia Nobrega. “We love being a fun and quirky brand, but we’re also very conscious of the decisions we make, and how they affect our customers and our environment. What better way to prove that than to give stuff away to our loyal customers – stuff that is not only fun, but also eco-friendly,” says Nobrega.

FatCow is giving any person who signs up for a hosting plan an automatic entry into the giveaway. “The Original FatCow hosting plan, much like the company, is a unique breed,” says Nobrega. “Not only is it beefed up with everything one needs to build a successful website, but it also provides friendly 24×7support with the Moo Crew, and a guaranteed ‘green’ online presence.”

In addition, because of FatCow’s strong commitment to customer appreciation, there are multiple ways for current customers to enter the giveaway. Referring friends to FatCow and participating in their Affiliate and Reseller Programs will generate entries for folks who already host their sites with FatCow.

FatCow encourages customers to enter the giveaway in as many ways as possible before it ends on September 30th, 2010.

Danger in the internet café?

(Gawkwire.com) - There’s a potential threat lurking in your internet café, say University of Calgary computer science researchers. It’s called Typhoid adware and works in similar fashion to Typhoid Mary, the first identified healthy carrier of typhoid fever who spread the disease to dozens of people in the New York area in the early 1900s.

“Our research describes a potential computer security threat and offers some solutions,” says associate professor John Aycock, who co-authored a paper with assistant professor Mea Wang and students Daniel Medeiros Nunes de Castro and Eric Lin. “We’re looking at a different variant of adware – Typhoid adware –which we haven’t seen out there yet, but we believe could be a threat soon.”

Adware is software that sneaks onto computers often when users download things, for example fancy tool bars or free screen savers, and it typically pops up lots and lots of ads. Typhoid adware needs a wireless internet café or other area where users share a non-encrypted wireless connection.

“Typhoid adware is designed for public places where people bring their laptops,” says Aycock. “It’s far more covert, displaying advertisements on computers that don’t have the adware installed, not the ones that do.”

The paper demonstrates how Typhoid adware works as well as presents solutions on how to defend against such attacks. De Castro recently presented it at the EICAR conference in Paris, a conference devoted to IT security.

Typically, adware authors install their software on as many machines as possible. But Typhoid adware comes from another person’s computer and convinces other laptops to communicate with it and not the legitimate access point. Then the Typhoid adware automatically inserts advertisements in videos and web pages on the other computers. Meanwhile, the carrier sips her latté in peace – she sees no advertisements and doesn’t know she is infected ¬– just like symptomless Typhoid Mary.

U of C researchers have come up with a number of defenses against Typhoid adware. One is protecting the content of videos to ensure that what users see comes from the original source. Another is a way to “tell” laptops they are at an Internet café to make them more suspicious of contact from other computers.

“When you go to an Internet café, you tell your computer you are there and it can put up these defenses. Anti-virus companies can do the same thing through software that stops your computer from being misled and re-directed to someone else,” says Aycock.

Why worry about ads? Aycock explains it this way: “Not only are ads annoying but they can also advertise rogue antivirus software that’s harmful to your computer, so ads are in some sense the tip of the iceberg.”

Apptix Launches Hosted Email Defense

(Gawkwire.com) - Apptix (OSE: APP), the leading provider of hosted Microsoft Exchange email, Microsoft SharePoint, and business VoIP services for businesses worldwide, today announced the availability of two new email security and anti-spam solutions for on-premise email systems: Apptix Email Defense with Continuity and Apptix Perimeter Email Defense. While both products are hosted, they are designed to protect in-house email servers with top-to-bottom spam and virus protection or supplement existing email protection solutions.

“By blocking known spammers and potentially harmful email traffic at the perimeter, Apptix’s new email defense solutions quickly pay for themselves by eliminating up to 80% of spam traffic being delivered to corporate email systems, not to mention protecting the company from devastating email attacks,” said James Bond, Vice President of Product and Software Development for Apptix. “Message continuity ensures employees can maintain email communications if internal email systems are ever down. This is email protection that no company should be without, and the Apptix solutions can be deployed and protecting systems in minutes with no start up or equipment costs.”

Apptix Perimeter Email Defense is designed for businesses looking to supplement or reduce the load on existing on-premise anti-spam solutions and better protect against email attacks such as Directory Harvest Attacks (DHAs) or Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The service filters inbound IP traffic based on real-time blacklisting to prevent potentially harmful messages from ever reaching the corporate network.

Apptix Email Defense with Continuity is a complete, full-server email security suite. The solution includes the capabilities of Apptix Perimeter Email Defense plus full spam protection policies and message continuity in the event of an outage – planned or not. It protects communications systems through proven spam filters, leading anti-virus engines, content filtering, and fraud detection.

In the event of an outage, ongoing email exchanges are queued securely off-site for up to 60 days and automatically synced with the on-premise system once service is restored. Emails can be sent or received and stored messages accessed via a secure Web portal. This allows employees to continue emailing while IT administrators perform maintenance on in-house systems.

Apptix Email Defense with Continuity starts at $1.95 per month per user, while Apptix Perimeter Email Defense starts at just $1 per month per user. Both products are available now at http://www.apptix.com/email-security/email_defense/.
