    Can't Update Zune in China.

    Thanks Marc,

    I created a new WLID account and it works even though I changed the Region to China. I will figure out what is wrong with my old account.

    Now, I can see the step 2 "Your Account Info" page. But China is not in the country list... Could you verify?

    thanks,

    andreas

    USA is the Main Source of Online Attacks

    Despite China, Russia and even Korea often being stereotyped as the main online criminals, security firm Symantec has revealed that its findings suggest most online attacks come from the United States, accounting for a huge 31% of attacks. China was the next behind after quite a gap, making up 10% of attacks – Germany proved to be a wildcard coming in at third with 7%. Servers in the USA account for 51% of phishing attacks – considering that the malicious firms can make up to $6 for each credit card number, online identity theft is becoming quite a profitable business.
