Security Flaw Found In Trillian IM Client
The popular Trillian instant-messaging client contains a security flaw that could allow a hacker to gain control of a person’s computer, a software company said Friday.
To take advantage of the vulnerability, the hacker would have to use an advanced technique called DNS cache poisoning, which redirects PC users from real sites to spoofed copies, said Matt Hargett, director of development for Pittspurgh, Pa.-based, LogicLibrary Inc. The tactic involves a hacker first compromising a DNS server, which is used on the web to direct computers to websites.

HAAAAA!
I’m a terrible person.
Today I was at a client site waiting in the lobby for SBC to show up.
The office cleaning crew just came through and cleaned all the windows and glass doors.
This kid was running around the lobby, loud, making a scene, mother just ignoring him, typical.
I continue to watch this kid do his thing thinking to myself “I hope this kid eats shit”…
The kids rounds the corner, and smacks full speed into the closed, newly cleaned glass door…
I can’t stop laughing… Damn kid smudged the door with his face! haaaaaaaaa haaaaaa!
I’m horrible.
