"Free" exchange rate conversion

This one is for our readers in Europe... If one of your users should be searching for a "currency" or "exchange rate" conversion tool with one of the more popular search engines, chances are he/she will end up on a link or site like this one



Maybe it's best if you don't go there now - we can't vouch for what the page does once they become aware that their "tool" is mentioned in our diary. What the page used to do as of 10min ago is present the user with a lovely, extensive and complete list of currencies and exchange rates to convert from and to. All for free. The only catch being, the user gets the "result" of his calculation as ... an EXE download



The download contains what some of the AV vendors refer to as Dropped:Trojan.Downloader and Trojan.Muldrop.  If you are using any sort of URL filter, web-url.de and wechselkursrechner.de should maybe be part of your filter list if exe downloads make it past your perimeter otherwise.

Our reader Kevin alerted us that Cingular Wireless is experiencing a widespread outage.

Right now, it looks like the outage effects mostly the north east. One reader mentioned that Cingular links the outage to a worm, but a Cingular representative stated that the outage is not worm related.

A Cingular support representative confirmed an outage in the North East, but didn't comment about the worm. A couple test calls to Cingular customers went through ok, so its not a "total outage". Appearently, Cingular to Cingular calls are more likely to be affected, and one user reported that old AT&T phones where down, while newer Cingular phones worked fine

We are now receiving more reports that things are back to normal.
