Seems logical, right?  As a season ticket holder, the team has all your info.  Why bother with a paper ticket that can get lost, stolen, surreptitiously duplicated or counterfeited.  The Cleveland Cavaliers allowed paperless ticketing for their season ticket holders this season.  The team also acquired Flash Tickets in order to offer season ticket holders an electronic way to sell tickets they aren’t using.

This follows a trend of several other professional franchises who have entered into relationships with StubHub and Ticketmaster for the purpose of electronic ticket resale.  "Scalping" is losing the negative connotations and being legitimized.

According to Symantec, a new and malicious worm is spreading (dare I say it?) like wildfire within OpenOffice documents. "The worm can infect Windows, Linux and Mac OS X systems," according to a Symantec Security Response advisory. "Be cautious when handling OpenOffice files from unknown sources."

The worm was first spotted late last month, but at the time, it was not thought to be "in the wild."

Once opened, the OpenOffice file, called badbunny.odg, launches a macro that behaves in several different ways, depending on the user’s operating system.

On Windows systems, it drops a file called drop.bad, which is moved to the system.ini file in the user’s mIRC folder. It also executes the JavaScript virus badbunny.js, which replicates to other files in the folder.

On Apple Mac systems, the worm drops one of two Ruby script viruses in files respectively called badbunny.rb and badbunnya.rb.

On Linux systems, the worm drops both badbunny.py as an XChat script and badbunny.pl as a Perl virus.

Symantec rates the worm as a "medium risk."

That is, only if it is not on your computer :)
