LinkedIn users targeted in phishing scam after hack


http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-18351986

LinkedIn users have been targeted by email scams after hackers leaked more than six million user passwords online.
Emails designed to look like they were sent by the social-network website asked users to "confirm" their email address by clicking a link.
However, the link took unsuspecting recipients to a site selling counterfeit drugs.


I think it's terrible to see that even the biggest website's and all the social media in the world isn't save anymore for all the hackers out there!
and the worst part is that they've put everything online on a Russian website so anybody can see your stuff.
If those were my personal data, I wouldn't be pleased at all!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-18352258

Greek prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for the spokesman of the far-right Golden Dawn party after he slapped a left-wing politician in the face on live television.
Ilias Kasidiaris, who was elected to Greece's parliament in last month's elections, was debating with two female politicians on a chat show.
Video footage shows him throwing a glass of water at one of the women.
When the other intervened, he slapped her in the face three times.




What a strange news report!
I think the economical crisis really hits everybody in Greece!
strange to see how such a crisis can make people do really strange things.
it's never a good thing to be accused of something on national television but to react this way, thats far out of line!

'Vampire spiders' spot victims by antennae


http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/18298475

"Vampire" jumping spiders from East Africa identify their mosquito victims by their antennae, research has revealed.
A team led by scientists from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand studied the "unique" arachnids.
They used model "Frankenstein mosquitoes" and 3D animation to investigate the spiders' diet.
Results showed that spiders could see minute differences in body and antennae appearance when choosing their prey


"The thing that really amazed me is that I actually never heard of this spiders but I find them rather fascinating!
I'm also happy that he only lives in Africa and not in europe! and he kills mosquitos "for a living" so who wouldn't like that, a few less mosquitos!

Manuel Preciado dies 24 hours after being appointed Villareal coach


Former SPorting Gijon coach Manuel Preciado has died of a heart attack, aged 54

His death comes just 24 hours after he agreed a deal with relegated Villareal to take over for the 2012-2013 season.
Preciado was sacked by Sporting Gijon in January after twice earning them promotion into SPain's top flight

this is terrible news for the Spanish league and all the family and friends of Manuel Preciado.
At age 54, it's not your time to pass away, especially when you just signed a big deal with a good football club!

Maybe he was to excited about his new job that his heart simply couldn't handle it.
What I'm wondering now is, will his contract still be payed to his relatives or will they tear it up and give it to the new coach?!
