When the Super Highway became commercialized, its use was intended for the free and legitimate exchange of information and instantaneous communication. It was a fairly innocent medium, awkward to some, but still innocent and safe. However, nowadays, staying safe online has become a never-ending battle – for children as well as adults. Because cybercriminals are becoming smarter and more sophisticated in their operations, they are real threats to our personal security and our privacy. Our money, our computer, our family, and our business are all at risk.
For example, researchers have found that most web browsers handle pop-up windows in a manner that makes them vulnerable to a simple phishing technique that allows fake content to look genuine. Even fully patched, standard versions of globally used browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Konqueror, and Safari—used by trusted sites such as banks—allow malicious sites to insert their own content into any pop-up window, as long as the target name of the window is known.
Over the past year, experts warned of new attacks that not only circumvent DomainKeys but, adding insult to injury, even exploit the fledgling e-mail signing technology for their nefarious ends.
As eWEEK’s Dennis Fisher reported, the technology once regarded by many in the security community as one of the best hopes for preventing e-mail address forgery is now being used to make bogus messages appear legitimate, thus undercutting confidence in the system. “It proves that people will get to the point where they can’t trust e-mail from anywhere,” one security expert, who requested anonymity, told Mr. Fisher.
But things seemed darker yet before a ring of cybercriminals was recently broken up by Russian authorities. These cybercriminals used keylogging software that they had planted in email messages and had hidden in websites to draw over $1.1 million from personal bank accounts in France.
Their goal was to infect the inner workings of computers in much the same way that mischief-making virus writers do. The twist here is that the keylogging programs exploit security flaws and monitor the path that carries data from the keyboard to other parts of the computer. This is a more invasive approach than phishing, which relies on deception rather than infection, tricking people into giving their information to a fake website.
The keylogging programs are often hidden inside ordinary software downloads, email attachments, or files shared over peer-to-peer networks. Because they can be embedded in webpages, they take advantage of browser features that allow programs to run automatically.
The hidden keylogging programs infect the computers of unsuspecting users. This puts the keylogging programs in the category of malicious programs known as Trojan horses, or just Trojans. These Trojans are very selective because they monitor the web access the victims make, and start recording information only when the user enters the sites of interest to the fraudster.
The growing threat of spyware. Beyond the phishing epidemic, spyware was on track to replace mass-mailing worms as the biggest security threat in the coming year. This technology, which uses covert techniques to install itself on computers and track user activity, is dangerous because malicious code can be executed on infected systems.
As eWEEK.com’s Ryan Naraine reported, spyware, also known as adware, has become the preferred way to deliver malicious Trojans, which can relay information to other computers or Web locations, thus putting user passwords, log-in details, credit card numbers and other personal information at risk.
Notwithstanding financial chief security officers’ complaints, the Feds spent a good deal of the past year studying cyber-crime, pondering and passing legislation to thwart it, and even handing down the first-ever felony conviction of a spammer. The spammer, Jeremy Jaynes, received a sentence of nine years in prison when a jury in AOL’s home county convicted him and his sister.
What Lies Ahead: In the coming years, internet users will not only have to be more vigilant, but will also have to demand more from vendors vis-à-vis secure products, as well as will have to go through legislative wording with a fine-toothed comb.
To protect ourselves, our approach to internet use will have to change to stay ahead of the cybercriminals. But we cannot do it alone, as exemplified by Mr. Greg Garcia, the Assistant Secretary for cyber-security and telecommunications at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, when he said that he and his team are already hard at work creating policies that aim to better protect critical infrastructure.
Although the United States government is better suited than ever to defend the nation’s computing and communications networks, federal watchdogs will need private industry to lend a hand to keep attackers at bay, according to the first-ever federal cyber-security czar.
The cyber-security chief went on to say that his initial priorities revolve around work to breed cooperation between federal agencies to develop common security policies for defending networks and to help the private sector strengthen national preparedness and incident-response plans. Garcia said his most important role will be to serve as a focal point in the U.S. government to drive national security policies across both the public and private sectors.
On a personal level, there is more that we as individuals will have to do in order to keep the internet and the personal computers in their homes and businesses safe. We need to change our thinking and actions when it comes to computer security, especially when going online. But we cannot do it alone; we need an internet security team of experts making sure that we, our family, and your computers at home and place of business remain safe and secure.
The best protection we can have in today’s rapidly changing world of cyber-attacks is to have expert support for all our internet security needs that will provide technical support without any hassles and without charging you extra fees. It will become even more critical than it is today as time goes on. We will need to find our own personal team of experts to rely on. If we ever have a security problem, we will want to have a trusted expert we can call for professional help, without any hassles and extra costs!
Because cybercriminals are becoming smarter and more sophisticated in their operations, they are real threats to your personal security and privacy. Our money, your computer, your family, and your business are all at risk.
These cybercriminals leave you with three choices:
1. Do nothing and hope their attacks, risks, and threats don’t occur on your computer.
2. Do research and get training to protect yourself, your family, and your business.
3. Get professional help to lockdown your system from all their attacks, risks, and threats.
Remember: When you say “No!” to hackers and spyware, everyone wins! When you don’t, we all lose!

The advent of broadband, high speed Internet access in millions of homes has introduced the use of video over those networks as a mainstream digital reality and led to the creation of phenomena such as YouTube. It has also baffled the television and movie corporate powers, who can’t decide whether to sue online video sites or learn to use them as new channels for distribution of their products. In fact, some of each is occurring.
The movie companies are much touchier about the Internet, as evidenced by the one billion dollar lawsuit filed by Viacom against Google - now the owner of YouTube. NBC TV on the other hand, has looked to use the Internet in creative and productive ways.
Perhaps the most intriguing example is the sitcom “Nobody’s Watching”, a TV pilot that was developed for WB Television and ultimately rejected. But when the pilot leaked onto YouTube, its popularity soared - and it has since been seen by one million viewers on the web site. As a result of the online interest, NBC picked it up as a series - to be shown on YouTube.
While “Nobody’s Watching” is solely an online product, NBC has focused on trying to combine the use of the Internet with its traditional broadcast format. One of the results of this approach has been their TV series “Heroes,” which has a companion website featuring a novel that is integrated into the show, and vice-versa.
Meanwhile, other online entrepreneurs have developed broadband television outlets with astonishing reach. Beeline TV (www.beelinetv.com) has a channel lineup that includes an alphabetical lineup from Albanian to Turkish TV. Between feeds from those two countries is television programming from Croatia, the Netherlands, Japan, the Arabian newsfeed Al Jazeera, and dozens of other stations including many from the U.S. While the streaming can be somewhat spotty, the concept is remarkable and appears to be offering product with little concern for copyright threats.
Internet TV Access (www.internettvaccess.com) offers a software package that supposedly makes hundreds of TV channels available free. Their lineup includes international channels and domestic specialty channels such as “Classic TV” that replays oldies you might have missed the first time around. TV4U has a similar lineup - 2640 TV channels from almost everywhere.
As with every Internet product, where there is content there must be an online index. One of the more prominent is Find Internet TV (www.findinternettv.com). You can search this website by category, by language and by country to see what’s available in online television.
All of these services claim to be freebies, and all of them insist that you “join” by providing an email address and perhaps some other innocuous information. It’s unclear what the business model is for these video amalgamators, but what is obvious is their ambitious reach. It’s also interesting that video streams from thousands of worldwide television feeds are being made available online. They must be satellite feeds that are pulled off the birds and fed into internet servers, because very few television networks are operating online feeds of their own at this point.

I hear low pressure systems are good for surfing. What does that mean? How does a lower pressure system better conditions for surfing?
Low pressure systems, or storms, cause a vacuum-like effect on the ocean beneath them. They literally lift up the ocean water as they move across the water. So when these waves eventually hit land, they make bigger waves which surfers love. Other than high pressue creating nice warm weather to surf in, the only time I’ve ever heard of high pressure creating good surfing conditions is here in here on the West Coast, So Cal…..my friends that surf say that an off shore wind from the east(which means there is high pressure in our area) is great for surfing because it slows the waves down and makes them less tubular which my buds seem to like.

I’m looking for a surfing pack but I don’t know what defines a "surf" pack from a skate bag from a regular back pack.
Nothing.. No one surfs with a backpack on, don’t try to be cool and a poser and buy a "surf pack" because they don’t exist. Besides, leaving a backpack on the beach is just asking for stuff to get stolen
If you believe that adults can suffer from identity theft or be mislead by online criminals, imagine what children can experience in case their online surfing time is not properly guided. In fact, parents should know that when children are online, it is just like they are out in public. Thus, educating kids and monitoring their online surfing time can save parents from the anguish of having to deal with an uncomfortable situation later.
Exposed to a variety of stimuli, children today are able to surf and visit websites, portals, enter chat rooms or participate in online games. Since technology has brought a tremendous shift in children’s recreational time, kids should be taught that when they are talking with someone in a chat room or an instant message session, they are actually interacting with strangers unless they know in person the other party from the “real” world, like their school class or sports team.
A number of social studies reveal a shocking number. One in 4 children between the ages of 10 and 17 are exposed to sexually explicit imagery and nearly 20 percent has received an unwanted sexual solicitation during the past year. Although “kids are tough” and are not deeply hurt by these experiences as they consider them as a forbidden “fun” game between peers, a number of parents have reported that their children have been clearly disturbed by these type of online exposures. Surely, apart from the kids, parents are also extremely annoyed by the fact that unwanted exposures to porn and suitors have entered their kids’ lives through the virtual reality of a computer screen. But the fact remains that even when children are not looking for these kind of information online, they can readily find such material accidentally and then not to know how are they supposed to react.
The situation for parents seems very difficult and organizations, or administrative units like the Commission on Online Child Protection, have been examining the subject of online children protections in great extend. The problem is that safety issues and moral issues tend to overlap and while parents agree that their children online safety is among the top priorities on their list, they have not yet reached a stage of mutual agreement of their concerns or a reasonable and effective strategy to limit the chances of their kids being exposed to such kind of unwanted imagery or solicitations.
As no single solution currently exists, it is imperative for parents to educate their kids and explain that the internet is just like a city street with interesting parks and happy people but also full of dangerous characters and speedy drivers. Since identity can be hidden or even altered while one is online it is crucial to make sure your children understand not to reveal any information about their identity or whereabouts that would allow someone to track them down. Of course that means that no names, addresses, phone numbers, school or parents’ work locations and e-mail addresses. Finally, it is important for kids never to get together alone with someone they meet online. If for whatever reason, your child feels that it is absolutely imperative to get together with someone that they have “met” online, make sure it’s in a public place, like a restaurant, at a reasonable hour and that a parent is present. Although this does not give you much assurance that everything will go well, you will at least be able to check the person’s age, gender and demeanor.

I’m looking to upgrade my phone and i want my new phone to be capable of surfing the internet. I’ve currently got a Nokia N73 and its internet surfing capabilities are not up to my requirements. any suggestions?
In addition to the headset, the provider’s network is also important. Try providers with 3G, like ATT, Verizon etc. Also your antenna bars should high enough to better utilize phone capabilities.
You are reading this article because you want to make money from home. You either have a job that you hate and want to replace it with an online business or you need to earn more money each month to live the lifestyle you deserve or just to make ends meet. Welcome to the club. There are millions of people just like you who sit in front of their computer and search for the same things that you search for. They look over the same websites you do and pass up opportunity after opportunity looking for exactly the right fit just like you are.
This isn’t the first time that they’ve looked and it won’t be the last because they love looking. They love dreaming about nice cars and big houses and telling their friends they work from home and don’t need to take orders from an incompetent boss to keep a job they despise just to pay the bills. The problem is they love dreaming so much that they never take any action. They endlessly search for just the right system or program and end up never giving any of them a try - or buying one and never actually putting the program to use. What they don’t realize is that it’s painfully simple to actually have the life in those dreams instead of just dreaming of that life. They only need to take action for these dreams to be realized.
Many websites pay Internet surfers just for seeing their advertisements when surfing. Some pay for a web browser to be opened in the desktop of your PC, while others run a banner with other programs until you disconnect the Internet. One can earn about $20 to $30 a month for keeping the ads of a particular company on your screen. For this you only need to download their advertising banner display and program it on your desktop. Your ranking will increase step by step for each click on the banner. Money that you get a month depends on the ranking. You can even resell these ads or refer it to your friends, colleagues, or family. Your monthly income also depends on some criteria such as the minimum browsing time (it is usually 30 hours a month) and linking two or more customers to this business network.
It only takes your decision to get started. Stop dreaming now and start earning those dreams so they could be fruits and reality for a life you desire.
