Shaw Capital Management: Bin Laden related malware prompts FBI warning

Black hat search engine optimization (SEO) attacks are nothing new, but the surge in internet use since the announced death of the terrorist leader has led the FBI to issue a quick warning about malware-laden search results on the internet.

With big news comes big ruse, so the FBI was wasted little time in issuing apress release warningabout poisoned internet search results and email attachments. Less than 48 hours after the occupier of the number one spot on its most wanted list was killed by a US military operation, the FBI is asking the general public to proceed with caution when reviewing Osama Bin Laden related emails, search results, attachments, and media files.

The warning reads: “The FBI today warns computer users to exercise caution when they receive e-mails that purport to show photos or videos of Usama bin Laden’s recent death. This content could be a virus that could damage your computer. This malicious software, or ‘malware’, can embed itself in computers and spread to users’ contact lists, thereby infecting the systems of associates, friends, and family members. These viruses are often programmed to steal your personally identifiable information.”

The FBI urged the public to report any suspicious material to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), while also asking for increased skepticism of items received from trusted sources.

As Infosecurity reported earlier today, numerous IT security vendors have identified malicious domains linked to malware when reviewing Bin Laden related search results.

Shaw Capital Management World Financial News:Broadway veteran directs Boiler Room’s ‘I Do! I Do!’

Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like, well, a Broadway veteran and the production of musical theater. Williamson County’s professional Boiler Room Theatre offers it all with I Do! I Do!, a celebration of “old-fashioned matrimony in all its glory and heartbreak,” under the direction of former Broadway performer Scott Logsdon. The piece, a musical adaptation of Jan de Hartog’s play The Fourposter, continues through June 11 at the theater, 230 Franklin Road, Building Six, in the Factory at Franklin.

Performances are at 8 p.m. Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Shows also are scheduled for 8 p.m. Thursday and June 2, as well as 2 p.m. today and June 5. The “often overlooked” musical, Logsdon says, follows a couple (Sondra Morton and Corbin Green) from wedding night through the next 50 years.

“There is plenty of humor but there is also heartfelt emotion as these two archetypal characters face the challenges that pop up as they pursue their ‘happily ever after,’ ” he says. BRT adds to the fun by offering a special for couples who have been married a decade or more; the number of years equals the percentage discount. Otherwise, admission is $21-$27 with some discounts.

Shaw Capital Management World Financial News: FSA issues pension loans warning

The Financial Services Authority has warned investors to treat schemes which allow them to unlock 50 per cent of the value of their pension fund before age 55 with “extreme caution”.

The details of the warning note, revealed last week by Money Marketing, focus on the investment risks and loan charges associated with the schemes.

The regulator says the promotional material it has seen “does not state the exact level of fees or charge.” It says there is a “good chance” investors will be left with less than money than they started with.

In May, Money Marketing revealed concerns over pension loan schemes which exploit a loophole in regulations to allow people with a pension pot of £20,000 or more to borrow 50 per cent of that value from a separate occupational scheme.

Shaw Capital Management Financial News: China adviser: 2011 consumer inflation to hit 4.8%

By China Bureau

SHANGHAI (MarketWatch) — China’s consumer price index is likely to increase 4.8% this year, the state-run China Securities Journal reported Monday, citing Li Daokui, an adviser to the People’s Bank of China.

China’s inflation rate may have peaked in June and will likely slow down in the second half of the year, the newspaper quoted Li as saying.

China’s CPI rose 6.4% in June from a year earlier, the biggest monthly rise since June of 2008.

Li expected China’s CPI will increase 2.7% in 2012, according to the report.

Shaw capital Management Korea Latest News:South Korean Protesters Demand End to Nuclear Power

South Korean environmentalists urged the government on Saturday to stop building new nuclear plants and shut down existing ones in the country, as concerns over the safety of such plants grow following Japan’s crisis.

About 100 protesters gathered in downtown Seoul and denounced the development of nuclear power, citing the emergency caused by Japan’s quake-crippled reactors.

The protesters lay down on the ground to perform a “die-in” – a popular form of protest in South Korea – pretending to be dead while covering themselves with yellow banners.

They said the yellow color represented a warning against the risks of nuclear power.

[Lee Heon-seok, Protest Leader]

“We’re urging the government to stop building new nuclear plants after the Fukushima nuclear accident, and also to shut down old nuclear plants.”

The country is operating 21 nuclear power plants, and seven more will come into production soon.

Nuclear power generates 34 percent of South Korea’s electricity. The government has endorsed the building of 11 more nuclear plants.

South Korea is also seeking to export its nuclear technology. It has reached agreements to build reactors in Jordan and United Arab Emirates and is pursuing deals across Asia, including China and India.
