The benefits are tremendous, and did I mention IT’S FREEEEEEE !!!!
Phonebooth offers an automated voice tree system so callers can press keypad numbers to reach the different extentions (even if You are the only person at every extention). It’s an easier way to identify your incoming phone calls and allow you to prioritize them in order of importance.
The free version of Phonebooth comes with 200 minutes of free inbound calling a month; and a contact widget for your web site. The free service will also transcribe up to 50 voicemails to email or text, along with an audio file so you have a permanent record of the call. you can of course add additional minutes and features if you’d like to tune the package up to your needs for a neat $20.00. I hear they plan to go international next year. Yahoooo !
This is the type of service that can add that professional edge to a new small business. we started using Google Voice when it was Grand Central and we absolutely love it. the convenience and cost factor can’t be beat. plus the ability to access our voicemails from any phone we designate, makes it a freelancers dream tool.
Presently accounts are on a queue basis; but if you go on over there you might just get an invite and be lucky enough to win a Brand New Google Nexus Phone. WOW. I’ll be showing off my brand new Google Nexus One in future posts. I’m so loving this phone. It’s the ultimate Roadwarrior/ Freelancer tool.
What Are Ya Waiting On – Go Get Your Phonebooth Today,
Read This if you’ve recently purchased a new computer – Then take a deep breath..
The real life implications of this are plain: Computer manufacturers appear to be cooperating with the Department of Homeland Security to make every person who buys a new computer subject to immediate, unrestricted government recording of everything they do on those computers! EVERYTHING !
This information can be sent to DHS, online, without your knowledge or consent, without a search warrant or even probable cause! That’s why this device is hard-wired directly into the ethernet card, which communicates over the internet!
And now I expect that you are a little bit more interested, right ?
Remember The Trojans ?
welllll, guess what – They caused havoc with Bluehost.com security and caused them to have to rework their security and sign in policies; without any advanced notice to their 1,000,000 users and account holders. because the trojan stole everyones’ sign in data from the ftp servers. yeppper..
Well Read On -
Yesterday I mentioned that Bluehost.com had some major security changes this past weekend. suddenly early sunday morning they changed the security protocols for sign in for all accounts. This was done without any notice to users; because they are trying to catch a rat.
You see the FTP access was being keylogged and the passwords stolen. This was how my account was hacked last year. We fixed that by adding a little sugar to tank; so to say. When you look at a large hosting company like Bluehost who hosts hundred of thousands of accounts; you can imagine what a big problem it was.
The hacker knew that these new keyloggers could be spun and busted. That was their entrance to the server farm – wordpress blogs. Build a blog; Then Implant a Trojan. Then to spread it, you join a social network like entrecard and BOOM. Do we hold the DOHS At Fault for This ? or the Computer Manufacturers ? and what about the techs who work for ATT , who know that these bypasses can be activated ? are they stealing data from us as well ?
The Bluehost.com Chief of Security made a decision to clean up the problem with harder security rules for passwords. this means anyone who utilizes a cracker will be spotted; because it will cause the script to trigger a write instead of a reload. very smart indeed. I found that out on sunday night when I spoke with Matt – My Friendly Bluehost.com Tech Support Person.
I related to him the story of the trojans that were striking lots of members of entrecard. He laughed because it was exactly this same trojan that caused the head of security at Bluehost.com to immediately up the ante’.
My Friends, This is why I keep telling you that Trojans are very dangerous. the things they are doing on the backside of your blog would make you want to shoot your computer. can you imagine the mind of a person who takes their genius to create such a monster ? they not only destroy your blog; possibly your computer; but also the hosting companys’ servers.
That My Friends Is Mad Wack..
the rooted software packages caused this trojan to travel quite freely when upgrades were done; and installs. the problem was that eventually the trojan wasn’t satisfied with just users data – it wanted data from the technical staff. that’s when it was spotted. it had migrated through their system to noticable levels. that means that probably every box was touched. wow..
Most users won’t ever realize what happened, because Bluehost has no intention of ever talking about it. thats’ what smart companies do. They learn from these types of attacks; and use them for battle preparedness against the next invasion. But I do hope that they’ve added some security patches for wordpress; to prevent these types of trojans from so easily embedding themselves into the mysql databases, and then migrating system wide.
Being a Tech, I can completely understand if you want to have your new computer checked out. Just make sure that when the technician opens it up – you are standing there with a camera to take a photo; and also have the picture at hand, so that you can identify the parts for yourself. This is one of our chief reasons for getting that certification in hardware; after our certifications in software and networking. It pays to know what’s under the hood; so you know who’s really driving the car.
This Should be Our Wake Up Call,
below this is the whole story from Current.com. the site where it originally existed is difficult to reach due to high traffic. I suspect the government is jamming their traffic since the story went up.
Please share it and make sure to save a copy, as it’s bound to disappear as quickly as you are reading it. we plan to hardcopy print a copy and put it on a cd for later reference.
The US government has been admitting to spying on US citizens using the massive AT&T servers to log and record EVERY email that is sent in this country and listening to any phone calls that might interest them, are you so gullible that you really think the industry that makes computers couldn’t be forced to build in these devices ?
Government and computer manufacturers caught installing hard-wired keystroke loggers into all new laptops!
Since posting this article, there has been overwhelming attempts to disprove this threat to our privacy. To the extent that I had to rename the link to avoid so many hits. To me, any attempt so massive designed to turn a credible story into a so called hoax is pretty convincing evidence that someone out there doesn’t want the truth to be known. To all people attempting to destroy this story’s credibility, it is possible to do this, and it is being done.
The KeyLogger business is real, Look up KeyGhost on Google.. The US government has been admitting to spying on US citizens using the massive AT&T servers to log and record EVERY email that is sent in this country and listening to any phone calls that might interest them, are you so gullible that you really think the industry that makes computers couldn’t be forced to build in these devices ? Think for yourselves people. Do not trust a government that blatantly admits to violating the laws that provide your right to privacy.
Devices capture everything you ever type, then can send it via your ethernet card to the Dept. of Homeland Security without your knowledge, consent or a search warrant each time you log onto the internet!
I was opening up my almost brand new laptop, to replace a broken PCMCIA slot riser on the motherboard. As soon as I got the keyboard off, I noticed a small cable running from the keyboard connection underneath a piece of metal protecting the motherboard.
I figured “No Big Deal”, and continued with the dissasembly. But when I got the metal panels off, I saw a small white heatshink-wrapped package. Being ever-curious, I sliced the heatshrink open. I found a little circuit board inside.
Being an EE by trade, this piqued my curiosity considerably. On one side of the board, one Atmel AT45D041A four megabit Flash memory chip.
On the other side, one Microchip Technology PIC16F876 Programmable Interrupt Controller, along with a little Fairchild Semiconductor CD4066BCM quad bilateral switch.
Looking further, I saw that the other end of the cable was connected to the integrated ethernet board.
What could this mean? I called the manufacturer’s tech support about it, and they said, and I quote, “The intregrated service tag identifier is there for assisting customers in the event of lost or misplaced personal information.” He then hung up.
A little more research, and I found that that board spliced in between the keyboard and the ethernet chip is little more than a Keyghost hardware keylogger .
The reasons a computer manufacturer would put this in their laptops can only be left up to your imagination. It would be very impractical to hand-anylze the logs, and very CPU-intensive to do so on a computer for every person that purchased a laptop. Why are these keyloggers here?
I recently almost found out.
I called the police, as having a keylogger unknown to me in my laptop is a serious offense. They told me to call the Department of Homeland Security. At this point, I am in disbelief. Why would the DHS have a keylogger in my laptop? It was surreal.
So I called them, and they told me to submit a Freedom of Information Act request. This is what I got back:
Under the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) the only items exempt from public disclosure are items relating to “law enforcement tools and techniques” and “items relating to national security.”
The real life implications of this are plain: Computer manufacturers appear to be cooperating with the Department of Homeland Security to make every person who buys a new computer subject to immediate, unrestricted government recording of everything they do on those computers! EVERYTHING !
This information can be sent to DHS, online,without your knowledge or consent, without a search warrant or even probable cause! That’s why this device is hard-wired directly into the ethernet card, which communicates over the internet!
I am not certain how long this information will be permitted to remain online for all the world to see before the government takes some type of action to attempt to have it removed from public view. I URGE you to take copy of this page immediately and spread this information to everyone you know immediately! The more people who find out about this, the more can protect themselves and raise a HUGE outcry to force government and computer manufacturers to immediately CEASE installing these devices in new computers!
