In digital age, can movie piracy be stopped?
March 30, 2009
(CNN) -- The highly anticipated movie "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" debuts today in theaters, but many fans have already seen it.
The pirating and distribution of "Wolverine," starring Hugh Jackman, is being investigated by the FBI.
The online leak of a pirated, unfinished version of the 20th Century Fox film a month ago sent federal authorities springing into action and stoked a heated conversation within the entertainment industry about digital piracy.
Piracy of upcoming films is not new, but the theft of "Wolverine" is especially troubling for an industry concerned with a stalled economy and the financial bottom line.
It's rare for high-quality copies of a big-budget blockbuster to appear on the Internet more than a month before the film's release, experts say.

Facebook hit by phishing attacks for a second day
March 30, 2009
Facebook stopped a phishing attack on Thursday, its second day in a row of dealing with a worm on the site that lures people to a fake Facebook page and prompts them to log in.
Facebook has faced two phishing attacks in the past two days but officials aren't sure whether they are related.
Unsuspecting Facebook users get a message from a friend urging them to "check this out" and including a link to a Web page that appears to be a Facebook log-in page, but it is a fake site that steals their information when they type in their username and password. The worm also sends a copy of the message to the infected Facebook member's contacts.
In the latest attack, the Web address was "FBStarter.com." In Wednesday's attack, the address was "BAction.net."
The attacks were stopped within a few hours in each case, said Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt. He said it was too early to say whether the two phishing attacks are related. "We are investigating," Schnitt said.
