Head over to the Apache Software Foundation's website and you'll see an announcement posted by ASF Chairman Jim Jagielski welcoming Facebook as the open-source company's newest sponsor.

"With Open Source in its DNA, Facebook is an enthusiastic champion and active contributor to the ASF, including the Hive subproject of Apache Hadoop, as well as the popular incubating projects Thrift and Cassandra -- all originally developed by Facebook," Jagielski wrote.

Per the announcement, Facebook signed on as a platinum-level sponsor, the highest membership level available and one which requires an annual donation of at least $100,000. Other membership levels include Gold ($40K/year), Silver ($20K/year), and Bronze ($5K/year).

I'm happy to announce that Google Friend Connect features are now also available for Drupal and Joomla. Now that Friend Connect is integrated with these popular open source CMS platforms, site owners can make registration easier for users and offer them a set of social features -- all without writing a single line of code. Even site owners without programming experience can add these plug-ins.

What do you think? Would you like to see something like that core integrated into RavenNuke CMS? Would it be viable?

Websense Security Labs(TM) ThreatSeeker(TM) Network has discovered that a popular video called "Paignton Ice Skating for Cars" has been targeted by both SEO poisoning attacks as well as Web spam.

As a wave of icy weather is currently hitting large parts of Europe, the video has proved to be very popular, with currently more than 850,000 hits on Yahoo Video. A different uploaded version on YouTube has had more than 1 million views so far. Criminals have used the video's popularity as an opportunity to spread rogue anti-virus programs by poisoning the search results of major search engines. When the term "ice skating car" is searched via Google, nearly half of the search results on the first page redirect the user to rogue anti-virus sites. Clicking any of those links takes the user to a Web site with the message: "Your PC is at risk of virus and malware attack." That's an old trick used to lure unsuspecting users to download a fake anti-virus installer.

The black search results in Google redirect the user through several sites, most of which are hosted in Russia, before finally landing in the rogue anti-virus site. The criminals often change the second site in the redirection chain in order to make it harder to detect. The file has a relatively low AV detection rate.

Websense® Messaging and Websense Web Security customers are protected against this attack.

Websense Security Labs™ ThreatSeeker™ Network has detected that search results on office.microsoft.com can lead users to a Rogue AV page.

Users looking for information related to help with Office products on Microsoft’s own site are being targeted. Users may be unaware that, when they type in search queries on the site, Microsoft scours its own Web site for results, but also pulls in results from the broader Web. Because the URL for the search results begins with http://office.microsoft.com, this is particularly troubling for users who trust sites simply because of their reputation.
