–Alleged Botnet Author Arrested in Slovenia
(July 28, 2010)
Slovenian police have arrested a 23-year-old man in connection with the
Mariposa botnet. Identified by authorities only as Iserdo, his online
nickname, the man is believed to have created the Mariposa botnet, which
infected 12 million computers around the world. Three of Iserdo’s
alleged associates were arrested several weeks ago in Spain; they are
believed to have used the botnet to steal financial information.
Sources say that Iserdo charged several hundred dollars for copies of
the bot kit. Iserdo is believed to be Dejan Janzekovic, although
authorities have called Janzekovic only a person of interest in the
case.

[Editor's Note (Pescatore): Pretty good example of both private
industry/law enforcement cooperation and international law enforcement
cooperation here. Still was almost 18 month process, though - sorta like
how long it took them to catch John Dillinger back in the old days...]

Frasier’s getting political!
Kelsey Grammer is planning on hosting two fundraisers for constroversial Republican Ilario Pantano’s congressional campaign, and according to his campaign manager, Andy Yates, the events are expected to raise between $75,000 and $85,000!
Yates continues:
“It gets a lot of positive attention for the campaign. It just shows the momentum and excitement that is building.”
Grammar met Pantano – who was a Marine during the Gulf War and came under fire for shooting two Iraqis during his time overseas post-9/11 – during the filming of the 2008 documentary Warriors…In Their Own Words.
Inneresting!

It is a horrible name, but what’s done is done!
Executive producer of Cougar Town Bill Lawrence confirmed that they will be keeping the original name of the show after brainstorming for new ones.
He explains:
“I’m not changing the title. We never thought of a good new one, which kind of sucks. And when you look at the modern landscape of television, changing the title means changing your DVR and all this other stuff.
“It’ll be a funny burden to have. It might be the worst titled show of all time.”
Ha!
Well at least they have a sense of humor about it!
