Worm Redirects Google Searches To Look-Alike Site


A new worm modifies the infected PC so attempts to search using Google are directed to a spoofed site that looks like the real thing, but with different sponsored links to drive traffic to sites the hacker’s designated, a security firm said Friday.

Panda Software’s analysis of the P2Load.a worm showed that after compromising a PC, it modifies the Windows HOSTS file so all attempts to reach google.com — and even mistyped addresses, such as “googel.com” — are redirected to a site actually served from Germany.

Google provides satellite imagery of Hurricane Katrina aftermath


Google Maps now provides you with an overlay to give you a before and after picture of areas affected by Hurricane Katrina, such as New Orleans (click on the red Katrina Button). Google Earth also has a page which allows you to take a look at Hurricane Katrina imagery by downloading KMZ files which provide “image overlays” – instructions for using this page are provided on the Google Blog.

Really interesting stuff, I wonder how often they’re going to update the images in the future? Perhaps we’ll see the flooded portions of the Gulf Coast return to normal through the eyes of Google. 

To look at further satellite imagery which shows the effects of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans, Biloxi and the Mississippi Coastline check out Digital Globe. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) also has some Aerial Photos of Hurricane Katrina’s path which cover such areas as Bay St Louis, Gulfport, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula and Middle Bay, all in Mississippi. Of course, don’t forget to check out Hurricane Katrina photos via the Katrina Flickr Tag as well as Flickr Katrina Clusters.
