Nuffnang Malaysia has been Hacked by Gaysec

Salam and hello everyone. I just got a news from Amanz regarding Nuffnang Malaysia website which has been hacked by Gaysec. Gaysec is probably a group of hacker or an individual which recently has leaked several users database from several well known websites such as TM Streamyx, Geng Blogger, CIMB and the latest one is Nuffnang Malaysia. Nuffnang Malaysia website is currently inaccessible and it has been placed into maintenance mode. If you didn’t know, Nuffnang is one of the largest blog advertising network in Malaysia and south east Asia, hence this incident would be great challenge for Nuffnang to ensure their website’s security is always at optimum level as well as to ensure their customers and users’ privacy are protected properly. This incident should be a good lesson to Nuffnang.

There is no official announcement from Nuffnang regarding this issue.

Update by Nuffnang Malaysia.

Update: Official community announcement by Nuffnang Malaysia regarding last night security breach.

It seems it takes a long time for Nuffnang ads in this blog to load and this ads loading issue has caused slow page loading for this blog. Hence, I’ve disabled all Nuffnang ads in this blog for a while.

p/s: It is good to know that Gaysec’s objective is not more than just to pointing out the security holes of the websites they have hacked, rather than damaging the system.

Maxis Introduces New Mobile Internet Data Plan for 100MB/month at RM18

Salam and hello everyone. After a long wait, finally Maxis is going to introduce new mobile internet data plan for both its postpaid and prepaid customers, but you have to wait until this 16 August to get register with this new data plan. Pretty affordable in my opinion since the current cheapest mobile internet data plan is at RM58/month for 500MB of monthly bandwidth. Well, I think most of us is not going to use it up to this 500MB of bandwidth, hence 100MB per month looks quiet reasonable offer. Plus, its only cost you RM18/month!

Anyway, I hope this will solve my problem with my phone right now. During my first month of using it, I have used 50MB of total data transfer and the charge was about RM3xx! It may sound crazy, but that it is. The reason behind this is I’m not subscribed to any data plan.

Okay, if you want to subscribe to this data plan, wait until this 16 August 2010. I’ll consider too to subscribe to this data plan. I hope my dad don’t mind. *Because he is the one who pay my bill, poor me *

p/s: I heard DiGi also is going to introduce the same type of data plan, anyone with any info?

15Mbps Streamyx? Or Is It Streamyx is Improving?

Salam and hello all. We have already heard about the plan of High-Speed Broadband (HSBB) project that will be carried out soon which able broadband users in Malaysia to enjoy high speed broadband from 10Mbps and up to 1Gbps. Well, I’m not going to write any elaboration, comments, expectations and hopes regarding this next generation of broadband in Malaysia, but what I’m going to share with you is the screenshot below.

This is the screenshot of Streamyx 1Mbps Home Wireless Broadband package broadband speed test by SpeedTest.net and the test was done by my cousin today (13th November 2009) around 1.00 am. Do you see the download speed? What do you have across your mind now? Haha, I have no idea how this could be happened. By the way, you don’t have to worry because it happened only once. Haha! Several tests after above test have shown normal broadband speed around 1.4Mbps download and 0.48Mbps upload.

Even it happened only once, SpeedTest.net has calculated that, to download a movie of 800mb, it would take only 8 minutes of time. Great! I just wish we have that speed really soon and with affordable price. Even some rumors have said, the monthly subscription for 10Mbps broadband connection will cost you around RM500/monthly, I hope these rumors are wrong.

So, what would you say? Do write your views regarding this HSBB using the comment box below.

Well, until next entry. Bye!

Nationwide Streamyx Service Interruption

Salam and hello all. It was about 2 weeks there is no update, no new entry from this blog and the traffic to this blog has gone down drastically but still not so bad. Well, no blog update no traffic. Agree with me? Anyway, the reason behind this is because I’ve to concentrate on my final exam week which has ended yesterday. And the last paper for yesterday was Principles of Management, which for me quite tough with a lot of information, terms, principles, concepts and definitions you need to understand and remember. Compare to another paper that I have taken during this special semester, Economic Engineering, I love it even though it wasn’t so easy, but since it plays a lot with number and less stuff to remember, I don’t have problems with it. Now I wonder how those students who take Business Management remember all those facts, concepts and principles. Seriously, I suck at remembering things. Ok, lets all that be a memory. Hoho. Life must go on. I’m just hoping that everything will be okay when the result come out soon.

Ok, let’s go back to what this entry is all about. Do you know about this Nationwide Streamyx Service Interruption? I have been informed by ubey via Twitter last week about this matter and wonder why TM only announced it via their Streamyx website, rather than put it in newspapers, etc. Can you imagine, how many Streamyx users will go check Streamyx website for Streamyx service status? I think TM should be more alert on this matter, not all their customers will go check their website for service status, they should use more effective way to inform about this kind of news. Via newspapers perhaps? Email? If TM can generate million of profit per year, they should put some budget on this kind of thing. Anyway, for those who is yet read about it, here I quoted the original news from Streamyx website.
