Nasty banking Trojan makes mules of victims

,----[ Quote ]
| A sophisticated Trojan horse program designed to empty 
| bank accounts has a new trick up its sleeve: It lies to 
| investigators about where the money is going.
| 
| First uncovered by Finjan Software last week, the 
| URLzone Trojan is already known to be very advanced. It 
| rewrites bank pages so that the victims don't know that 
| their accounts have been emptied, and it also has a 
| sophisticated command-and-control interface that lets 
| the bad guys pre-set what percentage of the account 
| balance they want to clear out.

Saving a Billion Using Open Source

,----[ Quote ]
| A leading bank in India saved Rs 100 crore by moving from MS Office to Open
| Office. It is simple mathematicsâif MS Office costs Rs 11,000 per user, and
| the organization has 1,00,000 desktops, the company would save a cool Rs 110
| crore on licensing costs if it moved to Open Office. Even if we budget Rs 10
| crore for training and support costs, the company would end up saving Rs 100
| crore.
