EICAR 2007 Conference Cancelled

Ho hum, after all the blood and tears with me desperately trying to complete my paper for the EICAR 2007 conference, I received an e-mail telling me:

"Due to organisational problems, the EICAR Conference planned from 5th to 8th May 2007 at the Radisson SAS Béke Hotel in Budapest had to be cancelled.

EICAR deeply regrets this situation and apologises to the Conference Hotel, the EICAR members, our conference team, our sponsors and those who have submitted papers for presentation at the conference as well as to those who had planned to attend the conference."

I would be interested to know what the problems were, but nothing has been forthcoming from EICAR yet, although in some ways this is probably a blessing in disguise as the current political situation in Hungary is not very stable.

Full details can be found here: http://www.eicar.org/conference/

As for my Police Website Lineup Challenge, I have decided to give you all the weekend to try and crack it.

And finally, I hope to post the Monthly Malware Review for February 2007 sometime next week too, as well as be on holiday, and presenting a double-lecture at the University of Warwick, so much for having a week off ;-)
