I contacted Sans Internet Storm Center to find out why web sites are coming and going today and other quirky behavior.

As it turns out, there is a problem with the undersea cable to India and the Middle East that is giving trouble and causing the quirky Internet behavior.

 I was checking on the Internet weather today due to some quirky things going on with websites and came across this entry. It seems you can’t even trust your purchases at Wal-mart these days!

We have had several reports of malware/viruses infecting some photo frames purchased around the holidays from Best Buy, Target and Walmart.  We are asking anyone who has a copy the programs to upload them to our contact page so that we can review the  programs and  provide them to the Anti-Virus vendors.  We are hoping to get comparisons of the different malware found to determine if there is a correlation between frames and manufacturers. Upload them to:

isc.sans.org/contact.html.

Keeping you alerted!
