Security issue in Website Optimiser
Security issue in Website Optimiser
Dear Website Optimiser user,We are writing to inform you of a potential security issue with Website Optimiser. By exploiting a vulnerability in the Website Optimiser Control Script, an attacker might be able to execute malicious code on your site using a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack. This attack can only take place if a website or browser has already been compromised by a separate attack. While the immediate probability of this attack is low, we urge you to take action to protect your site.
We have fixed the bug, and all new experiments are not susceptible. However, any experiments you are currently running need to be updated to fix the bug on your site. Additionally, if you have any Website Optimiser scripts from paused or stopped experiments created before 3 December 2010, you will need to remove or update that code as well.
There are two ways to update your code. You can either stop current experiments, remove the old scripts and create a new experiment, or you can update the code on your site directly. We strongly recommend creating a new experiment as it is the simpler method.
Creating a New Experiment
- Stop any currently running Website Optimiser experiments
- Remove all the Website Optimiser scripts from your site
- Create a new experiment as normal. New experiments are not vulnerable.
Updating the Website Optimizer Control Script Directly
- Locate the Control Script on your site. It looks like this:
A/B Test Control Script
<!-- Google Website Optimiser Control Script -->
<script>
function utmx_section(){}function utmx(){}
(function(){var k='XXXXXXXXXX',d=document,l=d.location,c=d.cookie;function f(n){
if(c){var i=c.indexOf(n+'=');if(i>-1){var j=c.indexOf(';',i);return c.substring(i+n.
length+1,j<0?c.length:j)}}}var x=f('__utmx'),xx=f('__utmxx'),h=l.hash;
d.write('<sc'+'ript src="'+
'http'+(l.protocol=='https:'?'s://ssl':'://www')+'.google-analytics.com'
+'/siteopt.js?v=1&utmxkey='+k+'&utmx='+(x?x:'')+'&utmxx='+(xx?xx:'')+'&utmxtime='
+new Date().valueOf()+(h?'&utmxhash='+escape(h.substr(1)):'')+
'" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></sc'+'ript>')})();
</script><script>utmx("url",'A/B');</script>

length+1,j<0?c.length:j)}}}var x=f('__utmx'),xx=f('__utmxx'),h=l.hash;
d.write('<sc'+'ript src="'+
'http'+(l.protocol=='https:'?'s://ssl':'://www')+'.google-analytics.com'

+new Date().valueOf()+(h?'&utmxhash='+escape(h.substr(1)):'')+
'" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></sc'+'ript>')})();
</script>
<-- End of Google Website Optimizer Control Script -->
- Locate the following in the Control Script:
return c.substring(... - Modify the following line as shown:
BEFORE:return c.substring(i+n.length+1,j<0?c.length:j)
FIXED:return escape(c.substring(i+n.length+1,j<0?c.length:j))
Make sure to include the final closing brackets “)”

Note that the k=XXXXXXXXX line in the above Control Script examples is a placeholder.
Your experiment will continue as normal after you’ve made this update. There’s no need to pause or restart the experiment.
We’re committed to keeping Website Optimiser secure, and we’re deeply sorry for this issue. We will continue to work hard to prevent future vulnerabilities.
Yours sincerely,
Trevor

SiSoftware Sandra 2011 Released
SiSoftware Sandra 2011 Released
SiSoftware Sandra 2011 Released: London, UK, 4th November 2010 - Media Transcode, Blu-Ray and further GPGPU support.
A year ago, SiSoftware released Sandra 2010 with full support for Windows 7; in the 18 months since the launch of Windows 7, more than ever before we have seen the line blur between PC and entertainment hubs. Two months ago we released a Blu-Ray benchmark, now we have added a brand-new Media Transcoding benchmark using the new Media Foundation of Windows 7. We have also added yet another benchmark (GPGPU Cryptography) which allows direct comparison of CPU performance (using crypto instruction sets) and GPGPU performance.
Benchmarking 101 Benchmarking in Detail: London, UK, November 4th 2011 - We have started a series of articles to detail the new benchmarks of the latest version, Sandra 2011.
Learn what they do, how their work and what the results mean. How do current devices (CPUs, GPGPUs, memory, drives, etc.) compare and how future, soon to be released devices fare?
CPU vs. GPGPU: Arithmetic Performance
CPU vs. GPGPU: Memory Performance
OpenCL GPGPU Performance (OpenCL vs. CUDA/STREAM)
OpenCL CPU Performance (OpenCL vs native/Java/.Net)
DirectX 11 Compute Shader SiSoftware DirectX 11 Compute Shader Support Released: London, UK, 4th January 2010 - SiSoftware releases its suite of DirectX 11 Compute Shader GPGPU benchmarks as part of SiSoftware Sandra 2010.
Compute Shader/DirectCompute is a new programmable shader stage introduced with DirectX 11 that expands Direct3D beyond graphics programming. We believe Compute Shader/DirectCompute will become 'the standard' for programming parallel workloads in Windows, thus we have ported all our GPGPUs benchmarks to DirectX 11 Compute Shader/DirectCompute. more...
OpenCL SiSoftware OpenCL Support Released: London, UK, 30th November 2009 - SiSoftware releases its suite of OpenCL GPGPU benchmarks as part of SiSoftware Sandra 2010.
OpenCL is an open standard for running parallel tasks on GPUs, CPUs and hardware accelerators using the same code - unlike proprietary solutions. We believe OpenCL will become 'the standard' for programming parallel workloads in the future, thus we have ported all our GPGPUs benchmarks to OpenCL.

Tricks to Deal With Bad Customer Service
Tricks to Deal With Bad Customer Service
Cool customer services will make you want to continue to do business with a company. Bad customer service will frustrate you and make you think about taking your business else where. Dealing with bad customer service in the proper way will help you feel better about your experience and will help the company improve customer service.
Be specific about your complaint when you are speaking to a customer service representative. Many times, bad customer service is simply the result of the customer service representative misunderstanding your situation.
Stay calm and polite when you are speaking to any representative of the company. Becoming irate will hurt your chances of having your problem solved.
Ask to speak to a supervisor or manager if necessary. A manager or supervisor will usually have more options available to effectively fix your problem.
Offer your suggestions. If you have ways in mind to correct the problem or improve customer service, let the supervisor know. You may be able to offer a solution that the manager didn't think about.
Accept that you may have to compromise. In some cases, the solution that you are seeking may be impossible.
Write a letter to the company or business owner. Make sure that you include your initial problem, the names of everyone you spoke with, your specific customer service complaints, your proposed solution and your contact information.
Find a new business to frequent. If you find that you are unable to get your situation resolved in a mutually agreeable way, taking your business elsewhere will make a powerful statement. This is especially true if you are dealing with a small business.

Calling the UK Minister to act to protect the Internet's openness
Calling the UK Minister to act to protect the Internet's openness
We strongly welcome the UK Government's recent statement of support for the open Internet, but we must not forget about the existing restrictions in place in the UK and many other countries around the globe. For example, in countries like France, Germany, Spain, or the UK (to name only a few), several, if not all, mobile operators prohibit their customers from using Skype on their mobiles or they only allow Skype usage at extra cost. Similar restrictions affect many other uses of the Internet, such as video, audio, instant messaging, streaming, P2P, etc. In order to remove these restrictions, the governments and regulatory authorities in these countries - including the UK - need to make sure that:
Users can send and receive the content, use the services and run the applications of their choice on the Internet, on the device of their choice
Traffic management is kept to a minimum, and only in place for purely technical or security reasons
There is meaningful transparency for consumers about traffic management
New models of Internet access don't compromise openness
Effective enforcement mechanisms are in place to ensure openness
