    Schools CCTV cameras are viewable by the general public! - So it seems.

    Friday, September 12th, 2008

    A user of the Free PC Help’s community has found a serious flaw in the LookC CCTV servers - some of which are installed in primary and secondary schools across the UK.

    The vulnerability allows any unauthorized user to view live static images from inside buildings ranging from Schools, Office, Factories, and many more. The vulnerability has been tested 20+ LookC servers across the UK and all of them seem to have this flaw.

    Apparently LookC’s attitude was disgraceful towards the Founder of the flaw, who informed LookC of the issue on Tuesday this week before publishing his findings on Friday. After days of LookC knowing, the simple issue has still not been fixed at the time of writing.

    An article has been published on Free PC Help explaining the full story and the vulnerability, which is viewable here.

    Firefox 3 Download Day 2008

    Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

    Firefox 3 will finally be officially launched later today. After five beta tests and three release candidates more than 15,000 improvements have been made and firefox 3 is faster, safer and smarter than before. Over 1.5 million people have pledged to download the improved browser which will form part of a Mozilla World Record attempt for the most downloads within a 24-hour period. There is currently no existing record to break, however Mozilla are keen to smash through the number of Firefox 2 downloads.

    This is the first record attempt of its kind so there is no set number. We’d really like to outdo the number of Firefox 2 downloads on its launch day, which was 1.6 million. Let’s shoot for 5 million–the sky is the limit!

    Firefox 2 was heavily criticised as a memory hog, for having memory leaks. But over the months a lot of work on Firefox 3 has been completed, especially on the memory footprint, and it seems people are much happier.

    We are signed up to the pledge, are you?
