The following e-mail has just arrived into my gmail inbox, with the subject RE: Curriculum Vitae Juan Pablo Hurtado, from jphurtado@cmpc.cl

" Adjunto mi Curriculum,

Curriculum Vitae.doc

Esperando una pronta respuesta,

Se despide atte a Ud.

*** Para ver el archivo debe ejecutarlo para que Microsoft Word lo abra enseguida."

The link (which I removed from the quoted text for obvious security reasons) redirects to http://www.ansonia.cl/CURRICULUM_VITAE.DOC.exe, a file which appears to be a Word type file (.doc) but with the final extensión .exe. DO NOT download the file, but if you get to download it, ERASE IT INMEDIATELY.

I'm still not sure which virus (or which kind of) is, but I suspect it is a trojan of some kind. But if I get the exact information, I'll publish it here as soon as possible.

Please distribute this information to avoid any kind of data loss or informatic damage..

Good afternoon dear ladies and gentleman, and young people of all ages visitors of Words Knight! This time, we're going to have a small class of "chilean terms", with some graphic examples about them. This new "section" expects to grow in time, and is open for all of you to send your contributions to my e-mail address.

Chilenismos Class - Vol. I

*Begin classical music of cultural minute*
Well then, this time we're going to see two concepts: Atravezado and Aweonao. Let's see them separately.

Atravezado: It's the kind of person whom, even with the obvious signals and logical knowledge of a expected behavior, actions pattern or obvious respone to a specific situation, goes and does exactly ALL the opposite. Let's see a example in the following image:

In this example, we can clearly appreciate the orientation of the public parking slots (diagonally, red lines). In the background, we can also see the cars parked in diagonal orientation. Even so, the specimen of the example comes in and tail parks... HORIZONTALLY!!! (blue lines). This, my fellow visitors, is what is known in my dear Chile as a atravezado, a person whom does exactly the ooposite (or whatever he/she wants), EVEN when the expected, logical and consensually CORRECT behavior would be to follow the parking orientation, and not block the use of the parking slots to the other users.

Aweonao: (from the chilensis huevón, weón, hueón, etc.) Imperative way of calling someone who highly exceeds the categories of imbecil, asshole, stupid, dumb, fool, dumbass, etc. (in spanish: imbécil, idiota, tarado, estúpido, tonto, jetón, etc.), because of it's actions (in a general or particular way), the consecutive realization of mistakes or the addition of different wrong attitudes. A example of this can be explain with the following image:

In the picture, even when I took it a little bit late, the car inside the red circle was carrying a heavy load (iron bars above the car's roof), and it's driver was, no more no less, smoking with his left hand and speaking in his cellphone (without the use of freehands) with his right hand. Now, my dear visitors... Do I need to mention that this "character" DOES NOT have more than two arms, so if he has his both hands busy with other things than just the steering wheel, his reaccion capacity in a eventually evasive maneuver is NONE, and else he is a wandering danger for the rest of the car drivers and the other pedestrians?

In other words, ladies and gentleman, here we have a clearly and special example of a classic chilean AWEONAO.

I hope the present class of Chilenismos has been particularly useful and in the most didactical possible way. Feel free to comment, criticize, support and share the class with your friends, known people and loved ones.

*End of the classical music of culture minute*

Regards to everyone who passes by!

Well, I'll begin the feedback of information between "Caballero de la Palabra" with "WordsKnight - English Version", with this information about a important information security leak happened in my country, Chile.

On Friday night (or saturday's morning), in the FayerWayer site, a well-known local blog about technology, a unknown user registered in their forums and posted information and links related with a massive security leak about personal data of more than 6 millions of Chileans, with data which goes from inscrptions to PSU (the test needed to be taken in order to enter the local Universities) of 2005, to data like the one of the MINEDUC (Chilean Education Ministery) and the Dirección General de Movilización Nacional (which holds the information about the new recruits), and which contains data like phone numbers, addresses, RUT (the local ID number), names and lastnames, etc. The posted links were quickly noticed by the administration of the site, and removed asap, but not before than hundred of users could see them and/or use them, specially after the alert post made by a site moderator to warn about the files and the legal problems they may carry to the ones who download or distribute them.

But that's not all. For more info, click on "Read More".

• DGMN: 8.919 People
• Mineduc: 1.288.878 People
• Servel: 3.865.700 People
• Phones: 2.034.191 People
• PSU 2005: 175.506 People

This is the list of the number of people listed in the data contained on the 3 files published in the FayerWayer forums on Saturday's morning.

But that wasn't enough for the annonymous user. After posting the info in FayerWayer (FW), aparently the same user created a account in the site ElAntro in which he posted the same information that moments before posted in the FW forum, and where he/she also encouraged the viewers to share the files, upload them on different servers or even to create torrent versions of them, in order to allow anyone who wants to have access to them. The information was edited on ElAntro on Saturday's noon.

If that wasn't enought, the notice quickly spread in other blogs and local portals, like MobileCloseUp, ChileWarez, and even in the digital version of the "El Mercurio" Daily, Emol.Com. And there's more: in the printed version of the newspaper, as well as on the digital version, there was a small screenshot of the ElAntro post, with the full links (corresponding to a well-known international hosting server) before the edition of the mentioned post.

The last links on the net (which also were linked in the ElAntro forum, as well as in FW) showed aproximately 500 visits to each one of the links for the 3 files with the leaked databases. This, without counting all the users who had the chance to reach the files by the original post in FW and the one in ElAntro.

The CyberCrime Brigade of Investigaciones de Chile is already on the case, searching for the source of the leak as well as the way in which the databases were stolen from their original networks. The "hacker" who stole the information, in the readme.txt file which goes with the hacked files, calls the people who are watching the information to look out for some "freak info", as for example, the benefit that one of our President's daughter has (the "Pase Escolar" or "Scholar Pass", a pass used by students after a process of application, which allows the to pay a reduced fee in the public transport), benefit that was denied to a lot of University students in a much more lower echonomic situation than the appointed girl, as well as the posibility to use the information to find addresses or trace maps with Google Earth or Google Maps, about different people listed on the mentioned databases.

"Words Knight" calls all its visitors and cybernauts to NOT share the information if they manage to get the, and if they already have them, not to upload them no any servers or anything like that. If by any reason you already got the information, delete it, or be sure they don't leave your computer (being the first choice the most appropiate one).
