Abney and Associates News Review: Secure Your Computer In Seven Steps-Zimbio - 1 views

  •  
    Source: http://www.zimbio.com/Abney+Associates/articles/dYcAZaBvCTo/Secure+Computer+Seven+Steps+Abney+Associates While handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets provide new ways for us to leverage technology, computers are often still the primary tool we use for our professional and personal lives. As a result, your computer, whether at work or at home, still remains a primary target for cyber criminals. By following these simple steps, you can help secure your computer and protect it against most known attacks. 1. STARTING SECURE The first step to a secure computer is starting with a computer you can trust. If you purchased a new computer directly from a well-known vendor, then you should be able trust it and the pre-installed software. If you have purchased a used computer, then do not trust it. The used computer may have been accidentally (or intentionally) infected by the previous owner. Trying to secure a computer that is already infected does no good. The first step you should take after acquiring a used computer is reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system (be sure to ask someone you trust for help if you are not sure how to do this). 2. UPDATING The next step is updating your computer. Cyber attackers are always identifying new weaknesses in computers and their applications. When computer and software vendors learn about these new vulnerabilities, they develop and release fixes, called updates or patches, to fix the problem. When you purchase a new computer or reinstall the operating system, your computer is most likely already out of date. As such, the first step you want to take is connect to the Internet and update your computer's operating system.

Abney and Associates Technology Warning - 1 views

    http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-03-27/pune/38068982_1_cyber-criminals-symantec-social-media PUNE: An invitation to a Bollywood Holi party in your inbox may entice you, but there are chances that the slightest carelessness you show in responding to such an email will drain the colour from your face. Cyber goons may be exploiting your festive mood through such 'offers' to rob you of your personal information and money, say experts. Antivirus software and internet security solutions developer Symantec has warned that fake emails and social networking feeds that offer free passes for Bollywood parties or share celebrity updates are likely to proliferate around festive times. "It is that time of the year when social media witnesses a spike in malicious activities; cyber criminals won't miss the opportunity to scam you or steal your personal information," a statement from Symantec has said. Ritesh Chopra, the firm's country sales manager, has said in the release that a user should be careful when clicking on links or responding to notifications and abide by social media etiquettes, which go a long way in securing personal information and reputation online. Chopra said one should keep social media settings private, so that only selected friends can find you and post or respond on your profile. "Using tools such as Safe Web to scan news feeds on Facebook and identify URLs containing security risks such as phishing sites, malicious downloads and links to unsafe internet sites will help," he said. The note said people should be responsible when socialising offline as well, as the risk existed even when users of digital devices are offline. During Holi parties and get-togethers, when everyone is in a playful mood, mobile devices can easily be lost or stolen, putting personal identity and privacy at stake, the statement added. "It is important to set a password to lock the keypad of the device and to make sure mobile security software is up-to-date, Chop

Instructables: Abney And Associates Hong Kong News - 1 views

  •  
    http://www.instructables.com/community/Abney-And-Associates-Hong-Kong-News-Behance/ Do you constantly check your cell phone for e-mail alerts, news updates, and the weather? If so, you could be one of the 66 percent of people who suffer from "no mobile phone phobia" - nomophobia - the fear of being without a cell or mobile phone, says SecurEnvoy, a UK-based Internet security and mobile technology firm who conducted the survey. Living in a revolutionizing digital age where everything is fast, instant and, most importantly, on-the-go, people are disengaged from having one-on-one face interactions. While Apple applications like FaceTime, and the program Skype help reinforce personal connections, the unhealthy usage of cell phone devices continues to escalate. According to the Morningside Recovery Rehabilitation Center, the average American spends 144 minutes a day using their phone. For those who suffer from nomopohbia, the fear of being disconnected from the virtual world is heightened when they are restrained from checking their phone. The lives of cell phone addicts are so contingent on their need to feel socially connected on their phones that without mobile technology, they begin to express a sense of vulnerability that can trigger certain moods and behaviors. "Cellphones are addictive in the same way slot machines are," said Dr. Fran Walfish, child, couple, and family psychotherapist and author in Beverly Hills, Calif., to Medical Daily. "The immediacy of response, gratification, and excitation combine to make the user want more and want more now." This type of addictive behavior can be explained in a situation where a person is dining by themselves. Despite no sounds or alerts coming from the cellphone, addicts will take out their phones from their pocket and start to press buttons or scan their phones with their fingers for a sense of safety and security. While back-and-forth communication through text or e-mail is seen as a threat to replacing nose-to-no

John Abney Review: What to love and what not to love about THE BOILER ROOM Asheville - 2 views

    John Abney Review: What to love and what not to love about THE BOILER ROOM Asheville John Abney Review We always come back to places we enjoy the most, to people we appreciate and the good vibe we take pleasure in. The place's layout is interesting, very unique and likeable. It is a very cool setting in downtown Asheville. Although they have a bit small stage yet still a decent size, they have a full PA and knowledgeable sound guys - not bad at all right? The BOILER ROOM is a good playing room for 5-6 people but you can be creative and fit more using different tiers and levels of playing space. The sound is perfect for the space. To top of it all and many outshines every aspect of good things about THE BOILER ROOM and the reason why patrons keep on coming back is the service. Every staff that works here are extremely nice and easy to talk to, very approachable and friendly. There are also downsides and to name a few let us start with the fact that this place is fairly a new venue and not many people are informed of the place. Another problem is that Scandals is playing thumping techno upstairs and it's really loud, their music is heard loudly in The BOILER ROOM. So what they do is they turn up their volume to compete with the noise upstairs. So the tendency is if you have quiet parts in your songs they will be overridden by the thump upstairs. And the consequence is this additional volume will make your ears bleed. Yes, this place is really cool and all but like I mentioned earlier there are the downsides and some were already stated. The thing is you likely won't make much on the door, no matter how many people come to your show. Plus the fact that they've been branded to book too many bands or bump bands for "proven locals" that doesn't really bring in many people and it's hit or miss. This is maybe because the place is quite new and not that popular yet. There are strange mixed crowd, which can actually be pretty cool for some.

Abney and Associates on Google Glass Sicherheit breite Akzeptanz - 1 views

  •  
    Die Geräte immer auf zeigen was kann in die Zukunft des Internet der Dinge möglich sein, aber auch die Gefahren zu markieren. Als ein Google-Explorer trägt Anthony Pettenon seine Begeisterung für Technologie auf seinem Gesicht. Mitglied-Programm von Google, seine Geräte immer auf Glas in die reale Welt verfügbar zu machen, trägt der Schüler an der University of Tampa in Florida regelmäßig die Geräte-Klasse und in der Stadt. Menschen sind nicht besorgt sein um ein Gerät immer auf, während die Bequemlichkeit und die Verbundenheit des Geräts ist einfach cool, sagt Pettenon. "Es kühler ist, weil Sie tragen Technologie, sondern hielt sie," sagte Pettenon. "Dinge sind viel schneller - Sie können sofort ein Bild oder Video und laden Sie sie sofort." Noch machen die gleichen Leistungen auch die Geräte mehr Privatsphäre und Sicherheitsrisiko für Menschen und Organisationen. Google Glass ist eines der bekannteren Beispiele des Internet der Dinge, Geräte, die halten die Menschen, die mit dem Internet verbunden, wie sie von ihrem Alltag bewegen. Während die erhöhte Bequemlichkeit, viele Menschen, wie z. B. Pettenon, über die Vorteile der nachhaltigen Konnektivität verkauft hat, warnen Technologen und Sicherheitsexperten, dass es ernsthafte Folgen für Sicherheit und Datenschutz könnte. Auf der Black Hat-Sicherheitskonferenz im Juli zeigte beispielsweise Sicherheitsexperte Brendan O'Connor ein kostengünstige System von Funksensoren und Analyse-Algorithmen, die jedermann die Bewegungen einer großen Zahl von Menschen rund um eine Stadt zu verfolgen, durch das hören für Signale von ihren mobilen Geräten ermöglichen könnte.
