Despite just being released on February 24th, the Motorola Xoom has become the newest victim of developer rooting, and it took less than two hours to do it. Xeriouxly. The best part? The Clockwork Recovery running on it means that other developers can now create their own custom ROMs to hack whatever they want onto the tablet. Clockwork Recovery, also known as ClockworkMod, is a recovery console used on rooted Android Google devices, mainly using for flashing custom ROMs. It can make and restore backups, and it fairly straightforward to install too. The root was done by coder " Koushi ", pretty much as soon as he got his copy of the device home. In a blog post, he explained how he managed to get the custom root running so quickly. He got Clockwork Recovery running by building up a recovery (which he will not release yet due to the SD slot being non-functional at the moment) via  AOSP 's kernel and then using a ROM manager to get Superuser on the Xoom. He has a...

One major problem: The federal government's list of critical-need computer security employees has not been updated in over 15 years.

"In 1995, we already had that decided," said Hord Tipton, a former Interior Department chief information officer who was Bureau of Land Management assistant director for resource use and protection during the ...

An Open Letter to PayPal from Anonymous Hackers ! Just Now  Anonymous Hackers Publish and open letter to Paypal , The Copy of Letter is as Given Below : Dear PayPal staff, In recent news (reference below) we took notice that you froze the account of Courage to Resist, the organization raising funds for legal support of U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning. We regret to learn that after the massive protest in December 2010, PayPal has yet to appreciate  the untenable position they have found themselves in.

You are already aware that Bradley Manning's motives and reasoning  are politically grounded. However, his motives and/or reasoning are not and should not be any  concern to you. Additionally, by refusing to process the aforementioned legal funds you are  patently interfering with the defendant...

The U.S. agency that tracks complaints of criminal activity on the Internet reported Thursday that fewer people complained about Internet fraud in 2010 than in the previous year. The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) runs a Web site where victims can report details of any cyberfraud. It shares the data with law enforcement agencies to help them hunt down criminals. Last year it received 303,809 complaints, almost 10 percent fewer than the previous year's total of 336,655. The IC3 is run by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National White Collar Crime Center. It released its annual report Thursday, based on data submitted in 2010. The largest single source of complaints was from people who had been duped by criminals posing as buyers and sellers. International scammers, preying on eBay and Craigslist users, have made millions over the past decade. Just last week, a Romanian national, Adrian Ghighina, pleaded guilty to his role in a scam that took in $2.7 ...

Google has warned that search rankings will be changing after it refined its systems to weed out content farms and other search spammers. Changes made in the last 24 hours have "noticeably impacts" on around 12 per cent of search queries. The changes are designed to block out so-called content farm – sites which contain a large amount of copied or poor quality content. Instead sites which contain original content, research and analysis will receive preferential treatment. " We can't make a major improvement without affecting rankings for many sites. It has to be that some sites will go up and some will go down ," said the  Google blog . "It is important for high-quality sites to be rewarded, and that's exactly what this change does." Google said that the changes had not been influenced by the results of its Chrome Blocklist extension, which was launched last week. However it said that the top few dozen sites it had downgraded matched the data from the extension by 84 per cent. Th...
