"The thousands of Web sites infected by a new widespread SQL injection attack during the past few days aren't necessarily in the clear after they remove the malicious code from their sites. Researchers from Kaspersky Lab have witnessed the attackers quickly reinfecting those same sites all over again. Meanwhile, researchers at SecureWorks have infiltrated the Chinese underground in an attempt to procure a copy of the stealthy new automated tool being used in the attacks."
[From the article:
The toolkit is protected with a layer of digital rights management and appears to be sold mainly in China.

TechNewsFetcher.com - Daily Summary Of The Tech World
http://www.technewsfetcher.com
TechNewsFetcher can be described as a tech and business news search tool that centralizes relevant contents in the same spot. In the words of the team behind this project, “TNF was created out of the simple need to find all the tech and internet news headlines in one place. When RSS readers and Google reader failed us, TNF took over.”
As a result, the site gives a brief snapshot of tech news and developments on the World Wide Web. The main page offers succinct summaries of the featured items, and redirects you to the full stories.
Moreover, the site includes tech podcasts and video shows that provide a fuller understanding of the technological world and the direction it is headed to.

New Search Engine Takes "Dyve" Into the Dark Web

"DeepDyve has launched its free search engine that can be used to access databases, scholarly journals, unstructured information and other data sources in the so-called 'Deep Web' or 'Dark Web,' where traditional search technologies don't work. The company partnered with owners of private technical publications, databases, scholarly publications and unstructured data to gain access to content overlooked by other engines. Google said earlier this month that it was adding the ability to search PDF documents. In April, Google said it was investigating how to index HTML forms such as drop-down boxes and select menus, another part of the Dark Web."

Tagedu.com - Find Educational Resources Online
Tagedu can be described as an education directory that has the objective of providing internauts with only relevant resources for research, dispensing with sites which are plagued by inappropriate contents or spam. Such an approach is made possible because all the websites that make up this online directory are screened and reviewed by the Tagedu team. Moreover, sites are ranked by internauts taking into account their contents and ease of use.
The search system itself employs real time results that are arrived at using a simple yet effective tagging mechanism which lets you provide up to seven different keywords to be taken into consideration.
It is also possible for you to submit sites for the consideration of the Tagedu team. This way, you can make a contribution towards creating a search engine that is safe to use and which promotes educational growth. Address your e-mails to admin@tagedu.com in case you have any query or comment you wish to put forward.
For my Laitn students... Oh wait, I don't teach latin,

Google Earth's ancient Roman holiday
Posted by Steven Musil November 12, 2008 5:30 PM PST
Google Earth is extending its satellite perspective to paint a picture of what the ancient city of Rome looked like nearly two millennia ago.
While satellites weren't around to give us a bird's eye view of the city in 320 A.D., Google's "Ancient Rome 3-D" offers a 3D simulation of the ancient city at the height of its power. The new layer for the tool allows virtual time-traveling tourists to fly around the city and zoom in to explore ancient structures as they likely looked at the time, including the Colosseum, the Forum, and the Circus Maximus. Pop-up windows offer historical information written by experts.
