Rare shark caught on tape

Friends check out this fascinating sight!
A rare species of shark has been seen close to Japan. This shark is usually found 2000 feet below sea level but for certain mysterious reason it was soon close to surface.
Though it died eventually but it gave us an opportunity to have this breath taking sight!

Firefox2 and phishing


Hello Friends,
Since this is my very first post , I would like to talk about security alerts.
On browsing through the internet I came across a false phishing alert on 'firefox 2' I have been using.

For all the newbies phishing is a security threat where the hacker ("bad guy") replaces the original website with a spurious website which takes the information you submit to his database not the company you are intending to communicate and he/she uses it for several unauthorized purposes.

Hence when I was struck by the phishing alert I was surprised since firstly it was a genuine site as I did test using several online probing tools which guaranteed the authenticity of the website.

So if you guys come across an alert using firefox2 don't be shocked or surprised since not necessarily there is any phishing activity.... but lets not take a chance :)

Have fun!
