Good
morning to you, today is Friday, January 06, 2012, and I am your humble host,
the sultan of sarcasm, the purveyor of non-pertinent information, the guru of
gossip and we are coming to you recorded from the Eagle’s nest here at wake up
central and you are watching the Friday edition of The Morning Wake Up Call.
Election - Politico:
MEREDITH, N.H. — Newt
Gingrich is ramping up his attacks on Mitt Romney, but he’s taking a much more
ginger approach to Rick Santorum — the other Iowa top finisher with whom he’s
competing for conservative votes.
Gingrich is explicitly
complimentary of Santorum, and said repeatedly Thursday that he won’t criticize
the former Pennsylvania senator.
About Romney, though, Gingrich has no such
qualms.

Facebook Ramnit –
Huffington Post
Facebook
users have a new threat to look out for. It's called the "Ramnit"
worm, and it has compromised 45,000 user accounts.
According to Seculert Cyber Threat Management blog,
Ramnit was discovered in 2010; the following year, the software was used by
hackers to infect 800,000 computers and "gain remote access to financial
institutions, compromise online banking sessions and penetrate several
corporate networks."
Now, Seculert researchers report, the worm is targeting
Facebook users located primarily in the U.K. and France.
"We
suspect that they use these [Facebook] credentials to continuously spread the
Ramnit malware through Facebook," Co-founder and CTO of Seculert Aviv Raff told PCWorld.
When hackers take control of a Facebook account, they can use the profile to
spam other users with malicious links that further spread malware like Ramnit.
Mistaken Identity – Fox
News
A teenage girl from Texas who went
missing two years ago has turned up in Colombia after being mistakenly deported by
U.S. Immigration authorities. At only
14-years old, Jakadrien Turner ran away from home in the fall of 2010 after the
divorce of her parents and the death of the grandfather. She made her way from
Dallas to Houston where she was arrested by police for theft.
Turner gave Houston police a false
name, saying that she was an adult from Colombia with no legal status in the
U.S. Throughout her criminal legal proceedings in Texas, the 14-year old
non-Spanish speaker maintained her false identity and was convicted in a Texas
state court., according to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
statement provided to Fox News Latino.
At no time during these criminal
proceedings was her identity determined to be false, the statement added.
Texas officials handed Turner over to
ICE, where she allegedly continued to maintain that she was from Colombia
throughout her immigration court proceedings. “As is standard protocol,
criminal database searches and biometric verification were conducted and
revealed no information to invalidate her claims,” said Barbara Gonzalez, ICE’s
press secretary, in an email. “She was ultimately ordered removed from
the U.S. by aDepartment
of Justice immigration
judge.”
With the help of the Dallas police,
Turner’s grandmother, Lorene, found her on Facebook and learned that she was cleaning a
large house in Colombia. U.S Federal authorities found the address and U.S.
embassy officials asked Colombian police to pick her up.
