Robotron writes:Over 70 data harvesting apps in the Chrome Web Store have been discovered by researchers at Awake Security. Chrome users had downloaded the malware some 32 million times; several of the apps boasted of privacy protecting features, but instead forwarded the Chrome user's browsing data to a network of 15,000 websites hosted by Israeli web registrar Galcomm. Scott Westover, a representative for Google, had this to say: "When we are alerted of extensions in the Web Store that violate our policies, we take action and use those incidents as training material."Original SubmissionRead more of this story at SoylentNews.

20200618_214854 UTC Update: yes, some of these pictures are... large. Placed in <spoiler> tags for now; click each one it to see/hide the picture. --martyb]Well, here we go again! Coming off the Novell NetWare experience, I had intended to go straight into Windows NT. After two attempts of shooting a video and much swearing, I decided to shelve that project for the moment.
