Burger King takes down Twitter account after hack attack
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hackers breached the Twitter account of fast-food chain Burger King, posting the online equivalent of graffiti and sometimes making little sense.
Burger King Worldwide Inc suspended its Twitter account about an hour after it learned of the attack at 12:24 p.m. EST on Monday, company spokesman Bryson Thornton said in an email.
"It has come to our attention that the Twitter account of the BURGER KING? brand has been hacked," the company said in a statement. "We have worked directly with administrators to suspend the account until we are able to re-establish our legitimate site and authentic postings."
Several tweets carried the logo of Burger King's larger rival McDonald's, but spelled the latter company's name incorrectly. Others sought to tarnish Burger King, the third-largest U.S. hamburger chain, and its employees.
"Just got sold to McDonalds," one tweet said, adding "FREDOM IS FAILURE".

The Pirate Bay Reports Anti-Piracy Outfit to the Police | TorrentFreak
The Pirate Bay Reports Anti-Piracy Outfit to the Police
The Pirate Bay has asked the Economic Crime unit of the Finnish police to investigate the alleged criminal actions of anti-piracy group CIAPC. Last week the group copied The Pirate Bay?s design, violating the site?s usage policy. In their complaint TPB cite a similar case where the owner of a parody site was prosecuted recently. ?We will not stand by and watch copyright enforcing organizations disrespect copyright,? TPB comments.
When The Pirate Bay had its website ripped off by the Finnish anti-piracy group CIAPC last week, the site already announced that this would not be without repercussions. While many assumed this threat wasn?t all too serious, today The Pirate Bay reported CIAPC to the police.
Pirate Bay representatives took the case to the Economic Crime unit and asked them to investigate the wrongdoings of the group.
The main complaint is that CIAPC copied the site?s homepage and the CSS file. This is a direct violation of The Pirate Bay?s usage policy which specifically prohibits organizations? use of any site material without permission.
The ?parody? defense doesn?t apply under Finnish law, TPB argues, citing a recent case in Finland.
?In a similar case, the prosecution and the Helsinki Court of Appeals have found that a parody site can violate the moral rights of the original author. Changing the logo or making slight edits to the text are not enough to remove this liability,? they informed the police.
Pirate Bay parody?
While The Pirate Bay recognizes the irony of the case, they feel that they have to pursue this matter.
TPB points out that CIAPC themselves are no strangers to using police resources for trivial copyright claims. Just a few months ago they called in the authorities to track down a 9 year-old ?pirate girl? and had her Winnie The Pooh laptop confiscated.
?While The Pirate Bay may have a positive view on copying, it will not stand by and watch copyright enforcing organizations disrespect copyright,? Pirate Bay?s Winston says in a comment.
?CIAPC is like an ugly high school bully without friends. It?s time to take a stand. Cyber bullying is a serious matter to us all,? Winston continues.
Should The Pirate Bay be awarded damages they won?t keep that money for themselves. Instead, the money will go to the 9-year old girl who was ?harassed? last year.
But, even if they ?lose? it wouldn?t be a big deal, as that?s a win for the right to parody.
This right to parody is part of a new copyright law proposal in Finland, crowd-sourced by the public. Besides parody exceptions the Common Sense in Copyright campaign also aims to get rid of harsh punishments for non-commercial file-sharers.
The petition has been the most successful citizens initiative in Finland to date, but needs more support before it reaches 50,000 signatures. When this happens, the Finnish Parliament will have to bring it into vote under the new crowd-sourcing law.
Ville Oksanen of the Finnish EFF told TorrentFreak that it?s a case worth watching in this regard.
?It?s interesting to see, how the police reacts to Pirate Bay?s demands. On facts the case is indeed very similar to Matti Nikki?s case, in which the prosecutor decided to bring the charges on behalf of Save the Children.
?The law should be the same for everyone so now the objectivity of the Finnish police is going to be tested. Anyway as others have already pointed out, even if Pirate Bay loses the case, it?s a victory for their cause.?
All eyes are now on the Finnish police to see if they will take on the case.

Former Florida GOP Chair Jim Greer pleads Guilty
ORLANDO ? Ousted former Florida GOP chairman Jim Greer this morning abruptly ended what was expected to be a painful unpeeling of state party secrets by entering a surprise guilty plea to five criminal charges.
Greer, 50, of Oviedo, was facing a possible 75 years in prison for fraud, money laundering and theft. Now he faces a possible maximum sentence of 35 years.
The deal he cut did not include an agreement on his sentence, which could include a mix of prison time and probation. That?s to be decided at a March 27 hearing.

PFT: Suggs sees Flacco as Ravens' new leader
Getty ImagesWith the Rams scoring a major victory in the recently-concluded arbitration aimed at determining what it will take to make the Edward Jones Dome a first-tier stadium, the Rams have the clear upper hand.
And the powers-that-be in St. Louis know it.
But the best they can do is point out the fact that, if the team ultimately moves, it can?t happen for two more seasons.
?To be honest, everybody ought to take a deep breath,? St. Louis County policy wonk Mike Jones told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.? ?The reality is nothing really happens before the 2015 season.?
That?s fine, but if the St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission decides not to give the Rams the upgrades to which the arbitrators decided the Rams are contractually entitled, then the Rams can leave after the 2014 season.? Or in any year thereafter.
The CVC has 60 days to decide whether to do what the arbitrators have ordered.? But it sounds like the CVC won?t do what the arbitrators have decided the CVC must do to prevent the Rams from becoming free agents.
?The options are all theirs.? Not ours,? CVC president Kathleen ?Kitty? Ratcliffe said. ?There is no specific plan at this point.?
In other words, the CVC won?t be providing the upgrades.? Instead, they?ll commence shifting blame for the eventual relocation.
?[The arbitrators] did us a favor with that ruling,? Jones explained.? ?Now the community can have a broader conversation about the Rams.? And the CVC is not the tip of the spear for that conversation.?
Actually, the CVC is the tip of the spear.? Because the CVC negotiated the lease that, after the 2014 season, the Rams can disregard.
And a real ?favor? from the arbitration panel would have been issuing a ruling that the CVC?s $120 million plan for upgrading the stadium was the right one.? Because then the Rams wouldn?t have been able to leave.
Now, they are.
When the silver lining is ?Well, we have them for two more years,? it?s like saying the glass is five percent full.

BlackBerry gets help from Trend Micro in the fight against malware
In the race to the starting line, BlackBerry pulled out all the stops in order to deliver an app library that's 70,000 strong, but now the firm's looking to Trend Micro in an effort to keep malicious software at bay. Specifically, the phone maker will begin scanning all current and future BlackBerry World apps with the Trend Micro Mobile Application Reputation Service, a cloud-based solution that'll exist alongside BlackBerry's current security measures. In addition to scanning the code of an app, the service will watch for fishy behavior such as excess battery drain and abnormal resource consumption.
Alongside this announcement, BlackBerry also hinted about a service from Trend Micro that scans URLs, emails and files for potential threats. It's currently unclear whether implementation of this service would require some form of software update, but given the privacy implications at play, it'll be interesting to learn whether end users can disable the feature. Power to the people, right?

Updated Model Puts Earth On the Edge of the Habitable Zone
cylonlover writes with news of an update to the model used for calculating the habitable zone around stars shifting things out a bit. From the article: "Researchers at Penn state have developed a new method for calculating the habitable zone (original paper, PDF) around stars. The computer model based on new greenhouse gas databases provides a tool to better estimate which extrasolar planets with sufficient atmospheric pressure might be able to maintain liquid water on their surface. The new model indicates that some of the nearly 300 possible Earth-like planets previously identified might be too close to their stars to to be habitable. It also places the Solar System's habitable zone between 0.99 AU (92 million mi, 148 million km) and 1.70 AU (158 million mi, 254 million km) from the Sun. Since the Earth orbits the Sun at an average distance of one AU, this puts us at the very edge of the habitable zone."
