Cassini-Huygens arrives and orbit-inserts at Saturn today after 7 years of travel… awesome time to be alive :-) Main engine will burn for 96 minutes, and Cassini will pass through a gap in the rings twice while slowing down… all very exciting :-)

SANS is reporting (nice writeup) instances of a new IE malware
app, which captures passwords for banking sites (among other things)
before they are encrypted with SSL. Scary. Doesn’t seem
as if any South African banks are in the watch-list yet, but that’s not
really the point. The app installs as a BHO (browser helper object) in
IE.

SANS also pointed out the brilliant (free) tool target="_new">BHODemon which lists BHOs installed on your system,
and allows you to selectively disable/enable them. Nice and simple.
