Possible Chrome OS shots leak out

It didn't take long after Google announced its entrance into the operating system wars that the first photos have leaked onto the net. What you are able to see below are shots of the Chrome desktop with one application installed, Google Talk. It's not yet clear whether these screen shots are 100% legit. The author cites that it took approximately ten minutes to install the OS on a Acer Extensa 4620Z laptop and it required only 1 restart. Approximate reboot cycle time from desktop to desktop took about 25 seconds and was described as "amazingly fast" but this was a stripped down beta to show off to developers.

New web threat takes advantage of iFrame vulnerability, making its way to the U.S.

Security firm Trend Micro said that it has discovered a new threat that is currently making the rounds on the Internet. The threat is based on an iFrame vulnerability in webpage code to plant a keylogger to steal user passwords, or turn computers into proxy servers for various other attacks.

Trend Micro said that the threat could have originated from a computer Trojan-making kit and relies on a scenario in which website owners are unaware that they are compromised, and website users are unaware that surfing through seemingly legitimate pages can actually be part of an infection process. This process, according to the security firm, involves a malicious IP address that is inserted into the HTML code (HTML_IFRAME.CU), a download of malicious Trojans (TROJ_SMALL.HCK, TROJ_AGENT.UHL, TROJ_PAKES.NC, PAKES) from another URL via a JavaScript routine.

TrendMicro said that the threat was initially detected in Italy, but apparently is making its way to the U.S.

The screen shots were of the IFPI downloading a variety of material to help build up their case. The IFPI downloaded several games and movies using the popular uTorrent.
