Joe,
Just logged on to WBOC web site and my Norton Internet Security software shows that the site is unsafe and has DRIVE - BY Downloads on the site . The threat is HTTP SQL Injection Activity. Just wanted to let everyone know that the WBOC site may be unsafe and if people are not running some type of internet security software they may want to be care. Tonight is the first time I have seen this. Norton list the threat below.
Drive-by Downloads
A drive-by download is computer code that takes advantage of a software bug in a Web browser to make it do something that the attacker wants—such as run malicious code, crash the browser, or read data from the computer. Software bugs that are open to browser attacks are also known as vulnerabilities.
Hope this might save someone a problem.

wboc is a joke,its especially funny watching brian keane do the weather report with his head wobbling around like a bobble head.......
uhhh... there's no harm to a visitor for a SQL Injection Attack. i dont know who larry murphy is, but the vulnerability of a SQL Injection attack would be on WBOC, and you'd want to visit their site to make this happen if you wanted to take them down. not sure why ANYONE would flag anything about this.

NORTON DID flag WBOC as a computer threat. I noticed it Saturday. NORTON warns users with a big RED circle with an X in the middle. As of today, Monday Feb. 15, the warnings are gone, so apparently WBOC or "someone" fixed the problem.
Looks like someone from WBOC reads this blog.

Well, where else do you think they're going to get their news from!
Their sources are dropping like flies and WBOC has absolutely proven they do not care about keeping their word when someone says, OFF THE RECORD." They did this to Fernando Guerrero and many others and their response was, how do you think we can remain Delmarva's News Leader.
They're Delmarva's 2nd place news leader because they live on Salisbury News every 5 minutes. The have a RSS Feed to our Site and they take news from us every single day of the week.
They couldn't even attempt to threaten a lawsuit against me for stating such either because I have way too many witnesses that would testify 5 minutes after we put up and article WBOC called them and admitted they just read on Salisbury news this and that.
So their Delmarva's News Leader is a bunch of crap. They are using Salisbury News and making money off my hard work.
Joe, you are exactly right. That is why I left a comment on your article "WBOC Having Problems With Facts". I posted a comment there at 8:47pm last night regarding the computer threat and within 12 hours or less WBOC fixed their problem.
Your blog gets things done!
Thanks,
LP
