HOW DO YOU DEFINE “INFORMATIVE” LINKS
Vancouver — Federal cabinet minister Hedy Fry learned a lesson in keeping Web sites up-to-date, after it was discovered an old link from her homepage sent users to pornography sites. The site for the Secretary of State for Multiculturalism and the Status of Women contained a list of informative links, one of which was for the Vancouver Pride Society, a gay and lesbian community organization. However, the society lost the rights to the address last year and it’s now the home for a page called “Best Dirty Links,” and Fry’s Web site hadn’t been updated since the address change.
EVEN BILL GATES ISN’T SAFE
Redmond, Wash. — The security of software giant Microsoft Corp, was recently breached by hackers who gained access to the some of the company’s corporate secrets for products under development, raising concerns of the “if it can happen to Microsoft it can happen to anyone,” nature. The attack apparently began at the end of September, when one or more hackers broke into the corporate network where they could have accessed the codes used as the building blocks of the firm’s computer programs. Microsoft pointed out that the hackers did not get access to the codes for Windows or Office software.
