Internet 'Dancing' Geek Now Branching Out to Charity


How do things like this happen? Matt Harding, of 'Dancing' and Wherethehellismatt.com fame is looking to branch out and add charity and philanthropy to his resume, which currently consists of "world traveler" and "dancing fool." The Internet video phenom recently met with representatives from the United Nations -- seriously, this guy met with officials from the UN -- and his sponsors at Stride about raising money to purchase laptops for locals in Rwanda.

And Mr. Harding doesn't just plan to drop off the gadgets and leave, he also wants to teach locals how to use the laptops himself. "Laptops and access to the Internet can broaden horizons tremendously. I want to do it personally, so it won't just be a care package," he said, according to Reuters.

It's good to see Matt using his new-found fame to try and do some good in this world, but we're still not sure how he got here in the first place. Matt, buddy, how on earth did you pull this off? [Source: Reuters]

U.N. Site Hacked Spreads Malware


The hacking of Barack Obama's Web site was embarrassing for the campaign, but more or less a harmless prank. An attack the Web sites for the United Nations and the United Kingdom on the other hand have resulted in the infection of computers all over the globe with malware.

The sites were specifically targeted because of their high traffic and reputation as secure places to go online. The exact number of computers infected is unknown, but due to the high volume of visitors, it could easily be in the millions.

The security hole has been closed and the malicious code removed from the site, but the attack underscores the importance of properly protecting yourself and your computer by keeping your operating system, firewall, and anti-virus software up-to-date. [Source: Channel Web]
