A Skype™ Trojan InfoStealer

Since some days ago on the Internet there's a news regarding a trojan for Skype™, this malicious software is defined also as a Trojan InfoStealer, the file name should be "65404-SkypeDefenderSetup.exe" and it is delivered by E-Mail or instant messaging softwares, at the first look it seems a normal Skype™ plugin but once executed it shows an access window with username and password like the Skype™ one, all the expert pc users will immediately notice that it isn't the true Skype™ login screen but a fake.
The dirty work of this trojan is, by the news I read on the net, to "steal" the passwords stored by Internet Explorer and also the user data of your Skype™ account and then send everything on a Russian server.

The "Da Pesci" Code

I cannot resist to write this little article into my blog, even if it's not related with VoIP technology, but the "sensational" discover of mister Pesci Slavisa catch a lot my attention, leaving out that I personally know this person, I'm immensely wondered about this sneaky manner of making self advertising.
Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper it's a great paint, well known all over the world and "magnified" by book, movies, documentaries, inevitable that it is taken of sight and into it are find out hidden meanings and symbols, at the end it's just a simply paint and, as it is, it should be admired and nothing else.
The symmetry of two reflected pictures superimposed plays a lot of jokes to our sight, just try with every paint, photo, illustration to obtain other symmetrical pictures where, with the collaboration of our imagination, we can figure various shapes and figures combinable to everything; we can see a bit of examples into this website; the freak is defined pareidolia.
If in the month of August you have nothing to do and you don't go holiday just enjoy yourself by overturn paintings (not in the literal mean of the word!) and search for "hidden meanings" and maybe you will be the main hero of the next TV movie X-Files.
Have a good time!
