Firefox Trojan: Remember Your Passwords without Permission

Monday, October 11th, 2010

firefox_trojanSecurity researchers from antivirus vendor Webroot have identified an information stealing trojan, which modifies a Firefox file, so that the browser is forced to store passwords automatically.

The threat is detected by Webroot as Trojan-PWS-Nslogm and is capable of stealing usernames and passwords stored by both Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers.

By default, whenever Firefox detects that login credentials are submitted through a Web form, it offers to remember them for future use.

When this happens, the user is presented with several options which include “Remember”, “Never for This Site” or “Not Now”. If they choose remember, the browser stores the username and password in a local database.

Since it’s easier to steal credentials from this database instead of injecting the browser process and grabbing them as they are submitted, the author of this trojan thought it would make more sense to have Firefox remember all passwords without asking users for confirmation.

Adobe adds HTML5 controls to Illustrator

Monday, September 13th, 2010

adobe-adds-html5-controls-to-illustratorAdobe Systems has released an add-on package for its Illustrator CS5 design editor that will allow developers to export their designs to the Web and mobile platforms, using the emerging HTML5 set of Web formats.

With these capabilities, designers can build out a visual display once and export it to multiple platforms, such as Web pages, smartphones and tablets, as well as for print media, said Adobe senior product manager David Macy.

The pack can render designs using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) version 3 as well as the HTML5 Canvas element and the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) XML image format.

Adobe’s HTML5 pack shows that the company, even as it continues to position its own Flash format as a way to bring rich functionality to the Web, is also acknowledging the potential ubiquity of HTML5. Apple, for instance, declined to support Flash on its own consumer electronics, in favor of HTML5 (although it recently recanted somewhat by allowing the use of cross-platform compilers to rebuild Flash files into device-native code).

Error 404: Softheme Template

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

In our rich web development expertise we often have to prepare sample solutions at hand which we could suggest to our clients when it is needed, for example, when customers don’t have their own idea how this or that thing should look like. One of such solutions that we usually suggest to our customers is the message template for the so called Error 404.

The Error 404 page is displayed whenever someone requests the page that does not exist on a site. The reasons for this may be either the wrong link to this page or is that the page might have been recently removed from the site. Since there is no web page to be displayed, the standard Error 404 page is sent by the web server.

In this case we suggest the following message template to our clients that we believe describes the error and user actions connected with this error in the best manner:
