Who is this Gilad Shalit? Check out my blog posting from last year
Some of us have the Twitter lists now and of course, now people want to be on “your” list.
This cartoon is about the Twitter lists 
Everyone of you knows this..- “Trust, but verify!” – but only a few of you follow this golden rule.
I follow a couple (of hundred) of people on Twitter and on Saturday night I did see this Tweet:
So… I clicked on the link and… WTF?? I got this window popping up
Sure… NOT!
This is a classic case of malware
Why? An Ethiopian goverment site would never ever link to some commercial site to check “your” computer.
Now we are going to investigate this. I changed browser – I was so lazy to use Google’s Chrome because it is fast (but insecure!) – to Firefox because it’s has some nice (security) plug ins
I visited the url again and this is what I got
URL moved? Hmm let me check that..
Linked to sellbit.cn Hey? A clue! Let me (temporarily) allow this to happen…
Look! A link to… traflab.cn Hmm we will follow this one too..
Another one! A link to whale-tale.cn this time.. Again we will follow this one to see where we get..
WATCH IT!! NOSCRIPT is blocking all this and as you can see, again we are linked to some other site. This time it’s 009antivirus.com and they try to run a program
Who and/or what is 009antivirus.com? We check this and see the following info
Hmmm Created 2009-10-28 ?? Just 3 days ago!
We could e-mail Mr Foi M Summer and ask him to explain all this, because it is weird that a link to his site is placed on an Ethiopian goverment site.
But.. we don’t have to… malwareurl.com has some nice info about 009antivirus.com and what do we see?
009antivirus.com is a well know malware site!!
I will not contact him.
What I will do is publish all this info, to share this with you. So you can see that even trustworthy links can be bad.
And… of course… contact the webmaster of http://www.addisababacity.gov.et
and… remember… “Trust, but verify!”
Like the green avatar or green ribbon to show support for the people in Iran, there is a BLUE ribbon to show support with Gilad Shalit
Gilad Shalit (born 28 August 1986) is an Israeli soldier who was kidnapped on 25 June 2006 by Palestinian militants in a cross border raid from the Gaza Strip on the crossing Kerem Shalom (in Israel) and has been held hostage by Hamas since.

@arikfr (Arik Fraimovich) made it possible to put a blue ribbon on your Twitter avatar
Follow the instructions on his page: http://twcauses.com/gilad1095
Gilad Shalit (born 28 August 1986) is an Israeli soldier who was kidnapped on 25 June 2006 by Palestinian militants in a cross border raid from the Gaza Strip on the crossing Kerem Shalom (in Israel) and has been held hostage by Hamas since.
Shalit, a soldier of the IDF’s Armor Corps, held the rank of corporal at the time of the incident but has since been promoted to staff sergeant.
He became the first Israeli soldier captured by militant Palestinian forces since Nachshon Wachsman in 1994. His abduction and the following cross border raid by Hezbollah, resulting in the abduction of Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev into Lebanon, occurred prior to the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon during summer 2006.
Shalit holds French citizenship, a fact that encouraged France and the European Union to be involved to some extent in the efforts to release him. Hamas has barred the International Red Cross from seeing him, and demands the release of 450 Palestinian prisoners.
