Malaysian phone hacker arrested for stealing credit-card information from Krung Thai Bank

Source: The Nation Post



The Department of Special Investigation arrested a Malaysian man yesterday for allegedly stealing credit-card information from Krung Thai Bank by using telephone wiretaps to hack into its database. Director-general Sombat Amornwiwat said Lee Kian Sin had caused more than Bt100 million in damage to the bank, which had kept the information theft a secret to avoid causing panic among its cardholders. Sombat did not say how the hacking or phone bugging had been carried out but warned that people using KTC cards in the region south of Hat Yai district in Songkhla were at risk of having had their credit-card details stolen. Sombat said bank customers who regularly ran up card balances of more than Bt100,000 were prime targets of the Malaysian suspect, who, he said, was part of a racket operating in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. The ring included store clerks who took down shoppers’ credit-card numbers and others who then sold items obtained through payments charged to an unsuspecting shopper’s credit card.

Ternyata Cinta

by: Padi

Ingin sungguh aku bicara
Satu kali saja
Sebagai ungkapan kata...
Perasaanku padamu
Telah cukup lama kudiam...
Didalam keheningan ini
Kebekuan dibibirku
Tak berdayanya tubuhku

Dan ternyata cinta...
Yang menguatkan aku
Dan ternyata cinta...

Kau yang sungguh selalu setia
Menemani kesepianku
Menjaga lelap tidurku
Membasuhku setulusnya
Merekahnya fajar hatiku
Menghangatku luruhku
Dan resapkan keharuman
Engkau yang mencintaiku

Dan ternyata cinta...
Yang menguatkan aku
Dan ternyata cinta...
Tulus mendekap jiwaku

p/s: darn !!!

Naluri Lelaki

aku adalah lelaki
yang tak pernah lelah
mencari wanita
aku adalah lelaki
yang selalu gundah
menunggu wanitaku

oh aku adalah lelaki
yang pantang menyerah
memikat wanita
aku adalah lelaki
yang selalu ingin
dibuai wanitaku

tolong dekati aku
tolong hampiri aku
tolong jamahi aku
agar aku bijaksana
agar aku bahagia
agar aku merasakan cinta

naluriku sebagai lelaki
membuatku menginginkan
berjuta wanita di sisiku
naluriku sebagai lelaki
membuatku merindukan
pujaan dari wanita

Chat from Prompt

--------------------------------------------------------
another helpful hint : Chatting from Command Prompt
--------------------------------------------------------

if you want a private chat with a friend or client on you Network, you don't need to download any fancy program! All you need is your friends IP address and Command Prompt.
Firstly, open Notepad and copy paste code below:

@echo off
:A Cls
echo MESSENGER
set /p n=User:
set /p m=Message:
net send %n% %m%
Pause
Goto A


Now save this as "Messenger.bat". Open the .bat file and in Command Prompt you should see:

MESSENGER User:
After "User" type the IP address of the computer you want to contact. After this, you should see this:

Message:

Now type in the message you wish to send. Before you press "Enter" it should look like this:

MESSENGER
User: 56.108.104.107
Message: Hi

Now all you need to do is press "Enter", and start chatting!
