While the Mac OS may be almost impervious to trojans and virii, the iPhone isn’t.
In recent weeks there have been three different trojans aimed at taking control of jail broken iPhones and one of these trojans tries to steal any banking data stored on the phone! As more and more banks release iPhone apps to make banking on the move easier, the possible attack vector for the malwares creators get larger.

This article covers what the risks are and how to prevent this type of attack…

With the explosion of online media and social network sites a need has come to keep a list of contact points, sometimes under many different aliases.

The average person now has several points of online contact ranging from Email addresses, Facebook, Twitter, personal website or blog and usually a few others.

I believe a service for consolidating these contact points is just a matter of time.
It has been attempted before with web sites like LinkedIn, Friend Feed and such like. These, however, tend to focus more on social networking than contact point aggrigation.

Could the Digerati be leading the way for another revolution?
I believe that changes are coming, and in a big way!

Heres why…

I think it’s a widely known fact that Flash Games are getting bigger. The resolutions are increasing as well as the file sizes. This may pose a problem if you use AV Arcade to manage your arcade sites’ content.

The area usable for containing the games in AV Arcade’s default template is about 650px, which is fine for most games. Some other templates, on the other hand, use an area a lot smaller to contain the main Flash Game.

Some games I have on my Online Arcade use a width of up to 800px, which can over lap the sidebars and hide their content.

It’s a simple problem to fix and can even help boost your arcade sites earnings a little…

Thanks to dan20071 for letting me know about this

The Problem:

EDITED::…
This was originally reported as link spam, but could easily be a lot worse.

When registering, the user name field is open to possible attack.
Code will be processed on the members page.
The code can be overflown to the homepage fairly easily.
XSS can be used.

I would now consider this as a serious exploit.
I would suggest fixing this bug A.S.A.P

What’s this about?

I have been using AV Arcade for a while now and think it’s a great script.
I have spent a lot of time looking through the source code and have have some success with my arcade site.

There are a few small issues with the script which don’t detract from the usability, but could reduce crawlability, SERPs and so on.

What’s the difference?

AV Arcade v4.0.2 [Unofficial] is my contribution to the great free arcade script.
I have removed and updated any redundant code.
I made the whole script w3c compliant, in the hope of making search engine indexing and updating easier.
I have implemented various small SEO changes to various pages.

Most of the changes I made were small.

It will, hopefully, make creating modules and templates a little easier too.

I havn’t changed the functionality of the script at all, but hope to have cleaned it up and added a few small tweaks.
