Got this Munny (technically he’s a “Bub”) for Christmas and was too afraid to tattoo anything on him. That’s until I discovered wet-erase markers work just as good, without out all the scary permanence. I’ve given him a dead-with-bullseye theme, making use of the medallion accessory that came with him.
Session Hijacking Demo (Target: facebook)
A friend of mine created this demo recently. Don’t be fooled by the soothing music, this video is terrifying. Think a strong password is all you need to maintain your identity? Witness how easy it is for a hacker to hijack your account - while you’re using it. All that’s needed is public unsecured wifi, which is pretty much everywhere these days.
It doesn’t matter what kind of computer you use, what version of Windows you’re running, or even what AntiVirus you have installed. In fact, this could work on anything connected to the web - even your new fancy friggin’ iPhone 4G. Even better: the same intrusion technique can be used for hijacking accounts at any number of other sites (pretty much any site that uses cookies to store session information).
Take it in. Be paranoid, it might just save you from having your identity stolen while you sip that chai tea at your local café.
A new animated short from Patrick Boivin, the same talent behind the sensational Iron Baby that toured the net a few weeks back. Hats off to my coworker Josh and Laughing Squid for bringing this to my attention!
