Here is the recent update received from SolidTrustPay (STPay), a Canada based payment processors.

This is a personal email from Marc and Stella, to you, our valued members. It has serious implications for a small percentage of you. It is, however, going out to our main membership to ensure it reaches all appropriate parties.

As many of you know, we have been harassed and attacked by individuals in Indonesia, Hungary and elsewhere.  DDoS attackes and phishing emails leveled at us, lies, slander and accusations thrown around in forums. Yesterday we received a blackmail letter demanding $10,000 in EGold.  (see partial copy below).  We have NO intention whatsoever of giving in to this individual’s demands. He has even used our personal names in phishing e-mail attempts from a fake gmail account supposedly from SolidTrust. We reported this to Gmail weeks ago, but received no response. He has had his gold currency accounts blocked, only to create new ones.

Latest WordPress 2.3.3 has been released.

WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. A flaw was found in our XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow any valid user to edit posts of any other user on that blog. In addition to fixing this security flaw, 2.3.3 fixes a few minor bugs. If you are interested only in the security fix, download the fixed version of xmlrpc.php and copy it over your existing xmlrpc.php. Otherwise, you can get the entire release here.

Also, there is a vulnerability in the WP-Forum plugin that is being actively exploited right now. If you are using this plugin, please remove it until an update is available.

Since we are talking security, remember to use strong passwords and change them regularly.  While you’re updating WP and your plugins, consider refreshing your passwords.

Effective immediately, growing payment processor Liberty Reserve had renamed their 3 digit Security PIN to Master Key. The function will remain the same just the name has been changed.

At the time I wrote this. both online investment program sites, Minvestment (www.minvestment.com) and GoldenPurse (www.goldenpurse.com) are still down and probably is gone for good. I posted several days ago about the problem facing by these two programs. It seems that there are no clues whatsoever to see them coming back. There are no such information from their Officials either.

Yeah what a bad January for everyone. It seems that Minvestment.com is down for second time this months. The site is totally down today and a lot people are talking about them. You can search around especially on TalkGold and MMG where many investors are looking latest info regarding them.

On the other hand, Goldenpurse is almost dead. Their website was down since last couple days and still down. The problem started when one of thier payment processor account, e-bullion was blocked to receive and send payment. I was about to put some money using Liberty Reserve but luckily I am not. Still until now I didn’t know what is happen to Goldenpurse.

Interestingly, both program began having problem when one of forum member of TalkGold and MoneyMakerGroup (probably another forum as well) started contacting e-bullion and make a report regarding these 2 programs. According to “Ponzi Nemesis’ both programs, namely as Minvestment and Goldenpurse are running a Ponzi Scheme. The result:- Minvesment had dropped e-bullion as they were asked by e-bullion management to leave their system. Goldenpurse however is given a chance by e-bullion to send the document required (I found this info on TalkGold). Until then, they are unable to use e-bullion system as their payment processor.

For your information, both programs are one of the biggest online investment nowadays. However it seems that both program are running on their black day. There were no such latest information from both management until now.
