Chinese Black-Hat Hackers Arrested
According to reports from China Daily, what is believed to be the largest illegal hacker training and recruitment entity in China has been shut down by police.
Three people were arrested and the equivalent of a quarter of a million dollars in assets frozen. The accused, who ran a now-shuttered site called Black Hawk Safety Net, are suspected of offering online attacking programs, disseminating viruses and recruiting almost 200,000 members. Police have confiscated nine servers and five computers and completely closed all associated websites.
Sponsor
Over the past 5 years, the site owners had collected more than the equivalent of $1 million in membership fees. Reportedly, paying members were able to download trojans and were coached on writing programs designed to steal accounts for profit.
According to China Daily's police sources, Black Hawk Safety Net was the subject of research and scrutiny from a team of around 50 police officers ever since 2007, when suspected hackers in another attack were found to be members of the site.
There is no word yet as to whether this site or its members of owners were affiliated with the recent attacks on Google accounts and other international entities. To read more related news, check out our ever-growing archives on China's Internet exploits.

Verizon Blocks 4chan
According to 4chan's Twitter account and status update blog, they have been "explicitly blocked" by the Verizon wireless network.
If you're unfamiliar with 4chan and why an ISP/wireless company would block it, read more about it on Wikipedia. The high-traffic image board of mostly anonymous users was created by Christopher Poole in 2003 and has been the subject of a fair amount of negative media and legal attention over the past six years. But why would Verizon choose to block the site now? Does this put Verizon on par with foreign ISPs that block torrent sites and social networks? Or is there more to the story?
Sponsor
Poole wrote this afternoon, "Over the past 72 hours, we've been receiving reports from Verizon Wireless customers having difficulty accessing the image boards. After investigating, we found that Verizon is dropping traffic... only on port 80 (HTTP). No other subdomain/IP/port is affected, which leads us to believe this block is intentional."
However, a couple hours ago, Poole posted, "After an hour and a half on the phone, we've received confirmation from Verizon's Network Repair Bureau (NRB) that we are 'explicitly blocked.'"
In the past, we've held a generally negative view of ISP censorship and traffic-shaping, regardless of site content. It'll be interesting to see how this battle shapes up, as Poole is calling for 4chan users to file complaints with Verizon's Network Repair Bureau.
We are contacting Poole and Verizon to figure out specifically why the site is being blocked and will update this post as more information becomes available.
While we've personally confirmed that the image boards are not accessible from the Verizon wireless network, we're not certain that Verizon as an ISP is blocking the site or whether they plan to in the near future. Again, a move of this magnitude would have to have some pretty compelling justifications, and we can't wait to find out Verizon's reasons.
This incident calls to mind AT&T's temporary blocking of the site in July 2009. Eventually, AT&T said the block was due to a DDoS originating from 4chan IP addresses, to which Poole responded, "We're glad to see this short-lived debacle has prompted renewed interest and debate over net neutrality and Internet censorship - two very important issues that don't get nearly enough attention - so perhaps this was all just a blessing in disguise."
UPDATE: A Verizon NRB rep said their center has been deluged with phone calls but was unable to relate the specific reason the site has been blocked. We are continuing to call other Verizon numbers at this time, but we've been alerted that Verizon has not yet set up any process for dealing with media calls on this issue as no other media outlets have yet contacted them.
UPDATE: Multiple Verizon FIOS/DSL customers have let us know that the boards are still accessible from other devices not on the Verizon wireless network. However, we're confused as to why Verizon wireless would block a website and still allow access on other parts of its network.

The Owl Is Watching You - $10.00
Still, It’s No Narwhal
Now if you feel that you’re all alone
And you notice all the birds have flown
Well then, baby, you should be a’knowing
That they had a reason to be going
Because a predator’s been around
Darlin’
Peep ouuuuuut
Peep ouuuuuut, peep out and see
Owl, he’s there
And he’s got one eye on youuuu
Owl, he’s there
And he’s seeing every thing you dooo
And when you’re lying there in the bath
Or when you’re outside pumping your gas
When you’re buying pumpkins in the market
Or you’re visiting La Brea Tar Pits
Or you’re out buying an ice cream cone
Darlin’
Peep ouuuuuuut
Peep ouuuuuuut, and then you’ll see
Owl, he’s there
And he’s got one eye on youuuu
Owl, he’s there
And he’s seeing every thing you dooo
Owl, he’s there, he’s always watching you
Owl, he’s there, it’s getting kinda creepy too
He keeps notes on when you go to bed
He swears he’ll see your lover dead
The cops his hideout haven’t found
Because he never lands on the ground
He stays in high branches of course
Where restraining orders aren’t enforced
Darling
Move ouuuuuuuuut
Move ouuuuuuuuut, just flee
Owl, he’s there
He’s taking candid shots of youuuu
Owl, he’s there
He swears he’s gonna marry youuuu
Owl, he’s there
He’s swearing that his love is truuuue
Owl, he’s there
And he’s seeing every thing you dooo
Wear this shirt: as a warning. Wear a button-up. Keep your back to the owl and he won’t be able to see it. Open it slowly so the other person can see. Nod imperceptibly and then button up again.
Don’t wear this shirt: to Hooters. They’ve got cameras everywhere.
This shirt tells the world: “Who, me?”
We call this color: Roy-owl Blue
Design Placement: Centered
Design Size:
3X – S: 6.5” x 12.6”
WXL - K4: 4.87“ x 9.45”
Pantone Colors: 106C – 165C
Please check our sizing chart before you order. The Woot Tee follows a classic closer-fitting style. If you prefer a baggier look, order a larger size. If there is not a larger size, consider starting a belly-hanging-out trend.
Lost Canyon Stage Gulch Syrah Three - Pack - $54.99
The Grander Canyon
My horse had run off during the night. My map was swept away in a Flash flood. I thought I was lost. Little did I know I’d just found myself.
I wandered the canyon for days, foraging for food, half-mad from not hearing another human voice for so long. I was just about to eat some kind of crawdad I’d dug out of a creek bed when the aroma caught me.
Was it blackberries? Blueberries? Leather? White pepper? Or even… rose petals? It was all those things, a complex potpourri that set my mouth to watering. I followed that scent like a bloodhound, deeper into the canyon, deeper into the lengthening shadows of afternoon, deeper…
...and found a gulch that flowed purple. Dark, rich purple. It didn’t occur to me that the color could be due to blood, or pollution. I just knew I wanted to drink from it. Yearned to drink from it. Ached to drink from it. So drink from it I did.
After days of eating things I’d never thought I’d eat, the flavor was a revelation. Smoky, intense, almost like bacon. Why, this is the kind of flavor that gets a 91 in Wine Spectator, I thought. I slurped at that little stream until my guts couldn’t hold any more. You better believe I fell asleep with a smile on my face that night.
I’ve been here ever since. You can call it a Lost Canyon if you want. Frankly, I hope it stays lost to the likes of you city folk. But me? I know right where I am.

Rose Bush in White Ceramic Pot with Chocolate Kisses - $29.99
It Was Either This Or One Of Those Roses They Sell At The Gas Station
My beloved lady-love: I have lovingly created for you a gift made of pure love, to symbolize my love for you. (Note: gift actually includes some non-love ingredients, too.)
First, eternal love of mine, I reached deep into the love-garden in my heart and plucked forth not just a rose, but a rose bush. A 12” tall rose bush, watered and nourished on my everlasting devotion to you. Now that it’s out, you should probably give it actual water and plant food. But do it with love, my love, or else my heart shall die.
Then I scooped up the love-clay of my heart and crafted a 4.5” tall, 4.5” diameter ceramic pot, as a loving home for the aforementioned rose bush. I worked this planter on the potters’ wheel of undying passion that spins evermore in my, you guessed it, heart. Your presence was with me all along, the phantom fingers of your love entwining with my own normal fingers, united in the love of loving and being loved. It was at least four times hotter than that scene in Ghost.
You’ll notice I made the pot white, which is tied for the third-most loving color (behind red and pink, tied with purple). Had I made it red or pink, it would have imploded from sheer love pressure. Passions such as ours are dangerous, loverlady of my love heart.
Finally, to complete this token of my limitless love for you, I threw in some chocolates, because what the hell, why not? Also, they symbolize the sweetness I found behind the foil wrapper around your loving heart, or something. You see what I’m getting at, my love, for our love is stronger than any contrived metaphor.
Thus, dearest love of my passion, did I craft for you this loving gift, dripping with pure unbridled adoration. It is the only one of its kind in existence, just as our love is singular, unmatched, unique.
Just don’t look at the credit card statement next month, OK, lover?

StopTweet: A Customizable Spam Blocker for Twitter
Are you suspicious of those sexy avatars and "marketingbizpro" accounts following you on Twitter, but don't have the time or inclination to block and report them one by one as they pop up?
We've just found a new, completely free app that will zap those bots and bad users in just one click. It's fully customizable, so you can tell the blocker what you personally consider to be a spam account. And you can choose to simply unfollow those users, block them or report the accounts to Twitter, as well - again, all with just one click. StopTweet is definitely one of the more useful apps we've seen lately, and it also helps us all do our part to clean up the Twitter universe.
Sponsor
We just tried it on an account and caught around 50 spam followers; pretty exciting, no?
Here's how it works: You tell StopTweet what behavior you think is spammy by defining a few important parameters. The first parameter is follower/friend ratios, which StopTweet considers on a scale of one to 100 percent. I personally think it's sketchy when none of the people you follow have returned the favor. I like my friends to be engaged and engaging.
Next, you tell StopTweet how many tweets you'd like your followers to have on a scale of zero to 30. This won't work on the spambots that ping 500 people with the same "LOOK AT THIS CRAZY BRITNEY VIDEO!!1!", but it'll certainly get rid of inactive accounts and users who aren't really adding much value to your network.
It works for followers and friends, and you can take one of three actions (unfollow, block or report) on the account StopTweet finds. StopTweet also comes with three convenient presets for light, medium and aggressive scans.
The app also has a tab to see your own list of spammer accounts, but we weren't able to click through due to a possible bug in the very new app.
"We didn't like any of the applications that were already out there. They were all too complicated for the average Twitter user," wrote creators Joi Company, who also created Twitstatus, a keyword-based Twitter widget generator. "The application is extremely easy to use, and allows you to only block who you want to block without hassle. On top of all this, it's free. Most of the apps we found charge a monthly or yearly fee. We do not."
We think StopTweet is a genuinely useful app, and we recommend that you give it a shot and let us know how it works for you.
