xx TRDOffroad.com Virus
May 30, 2011, 12:22:00 pm by Matt
Well, you hear about it in the news almost every day: Playstation Network hacked, pbs.org hacked this morning. Last week, I discovered that the site was compromised by a virus.

This resulted in the site being blacklisted by multiple browsers including Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer. I have cleaned the virus off the system and patched the holes that allowed it in in the first place. You should no longer see any warnings from your browser.

Just to be on the safe side please make sure you update your operating system with the latest patches and/or fix packs. Also, ensure that you have virus/malware detection software and that it is up to date.

Toyota Statement in Response to NHTSA/NASA Study

 
Feb. 8, 2011 -- In response to the publication by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of an extensive review of the electronic throttle control systems in Toyota and Lexus vehicles, conducted with the assistance of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Steve St. Angelo, Toyota’s Chief Quality Officer for North America, said:
 
“Toyota welcomes the findings of NASA and NHTSA regarding our Electronic Throttle Control System with intelligence (ETCS-i) and we appreciate the thoroughness of their review.  We believe this rigorous scientific analysis by some of America's foremost engineers should further reinforce confidence in the safety of Toyota and Lexus vehicles.  We hope this important study will help put to rest unsupported speculation about Toyota's ETCS-i, which is well-designed and well-tested to ensure that a real world, un-commanded acceleration of the vehicle cannot occur.
 
“We will continue to develop and equip Toyota and Lexus vehicles with industry-leading safety technologies, including many based on breakthroughs in sophisticated electronics systems.  We will also continue to cooperate fully with NHTSA and respected outside experts in order to help ensure that our customers have the utmost confidence in the safety and reliability of our vehicles.  Everyone at Toyota – all 30,000 of our team members in the United States and the many thousands of Americans at our dealers and suppliers across the country – is focused on listening to our customers and constantly improving our products and service.”
 
Regarding the safety and reliability of Toyota vehicles with ETCS-i, the company also noted:
•    Electronic throttle control systems have long been standard across the automobile industry, and they provide great benefits to consumers.
•    Toyota’s ETCS-i has performed reliably in more than 40 million cars and trucks sold around the world, including more than 16 million in the United States.
•    This system has also made possible significant safety advances such as vehicle stability control and traction control, which are among the five sophisticated accident avoidance technologies in Toyota’s Star Safety System.
•    These enhancements, along with Toyota’s Smart Stop Technology braking system, are now standard on all the new vehicles Toyota manufactures for the North American market.
