Half of pirated Vista is malware. You can't cheat an honest person, they say. Like generations of scammers before them, some malware writers are taking that "advice" to heart, releasing their Trojan software and keyloggers as "cracked" versions of Vista oon peer-to-peer service. Who's going to turn them in, after all -- a would-be pirate? [Computerworld Security News]

5 Things the Boss Should Know About Spam Fighting.
Esther Schindler writes "Sysadmins
and email administrators were asked to identify the one thing they wish
the CIO understood about their efforts to fight spam. The CIO website
is now running their five most important tips,
in an effort to educate the corporate brass. Recommendations are mostly
along the lines of informing corporate management; letting bosses know
that there is no 'silver bullet', and that the battle will never really
end. There's also a suggestion to educate on technical matters,
bringing executives into the loop on terms like SMTP and POP. Their
first recommendation, though, is to make sure no mail is lost. 'This is
a risk management practice, and you need to decide where you want to
put your risk. Would you rather risk getting spam with lower risk of
losing/delaying messages you actually wanted to get, or would you
rather risk losing/delaying legitimate messages with lower risk of
spam? You can't have both, no matter how loudly you scream.'" [Slashdot]
