Detective invisible useres in Yahoo!!!!!!!!

Nowadays there are many detective sites to find the status of Yahoo Messenger users. Unfortunately some of them record the information of users have been checked including their Yahoo Messenger ID and Pictures then,disclose this information on the webpage for the other users!!!!
By this way all users of this site will be able to have unauthorize access to information of people who have been checked without their permission.
It causes checked users to receive too many unwanted messages from unknown people!!!!!


If you are one of the user of such these sites, it`s necessary for you to make sure about the site and its usage of information in order to peotect your friend`s informations from unauthorize access!

A five year in prison for spreding malicious computer viruses.

In 2005,  A California resident Jeanson Anceta used “botnet” armies of compromised computers to launch destructive spam and adware attacks. His work affected computers used by the US Federal Government for National Defense!!!!!
He could earn over $107,000 from installing adware into over 400,000 computers. Jeanson also sold “botnets” to other PC users who needed them to launch Denial of Service attacks (DDOS) and email spam. He received about $3,000 for these transactions.


Result:
Jeanson James Anceta was sentenced to 5 years in prison in 2006. He then has to undergo 3 years of supervised release (which limited his Internet and computer access). He also has to pay $15,000 in restitution to the Weapons Division of the United States Naval Air Warfare Center, relinquish $58,000 of his profits from his illegal activities and forfeit his 1993 BMW. As of 2006, Jeanson’s term of sentence is the longest known for an individual who has spread malicious computer viruses.
