Eudora Morphs Into Penelope

Some old (six months) news for those who use an email client cobbled together anywhere but Microsoft. The venerable email client from the early 1990's, Eudora, is no longer being upgraded, patched or otherwise looked at by its creator, Qualcomm. From the ashes comes a new open-source email client dubbed, Penelope, which appears based on the Mozilla branded engine that now powers Thunderbird.

Eudora Email Client Vulnerability

The user would have to click through two warnings before being in danger but the chance does exist if you are still insistent on clicking attachments from people you don't know. Sigh .

The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions 6.2.0 and prior for Windows. Thew solution is to upgrade to version 6.2.1.

No More Internet for Them

Oh, my heavens! Here we have folks who have given up on broadband Internet access in the hopes that this will cure the problems of virii, spyware, malware, trojans and pop-ups on their computers.

The article has no mention of alternatives to Windows OS, browser alternatives to Internet Explorer or email alternatives to Outlook Express.

Sigh.

Google: We've fixed desktop search tool flaw.

Great. Good to hear it. I would suggest those users who use this Google tool uninstall it until a more secure and useful version is released. Right now the application searches far to many Microsoft specific files to be much use. Of course, anybody who needs to search their Outlook email is doomed anyway. When the toolbar searches Eudora email I may . . . may . . . install it again.

Eudora Combats Phishing With ScamWatch

Here is a good idea - trust Eudora to get a grip on those damn Phishing emails. Although anyone that accepts email in anything other than plain text is cruisin' for a bruisin' anyway - and good luck to all you folks, hehehe.
