    SEO Poisoning manipulates search engine results to make sites that are malicious in nature place higher in the results list. According to the article in 2011 40% of all cyberattacks resulted from SEO poisoning.

    I know that when I'm doing a Google or Bing search, I am looking for a specific item or topic and sometimes don't even think about reviewing the link that I'm clicking on. The high amount of malware that is in search engines is scary. The pointers that were in the article were very true and very easy for the every day user to do when they are doing a search. And anyone that does not have an anti-virus or anti-malware on their system is just asking for their system to be attacked.

    I use AVG security on my laptop and it uses an add-on called link scanner. When I search, the results are rated as safe or not, with a check mark or an "X" accordingly. So you immediately know which sites to avoid. It's worth trying since this could essentially save you the time and headache of undoing malware or spyware you might contract otherwise. It's a nice "peace of mind" tool.

    I really like the way they talked about complete integration in the video, as that definitely seems to be the direction that everything is going. Forget about dedicated devices, everything from your couch to your car, to your refrigerator will have intense computing power, and will be able to communicate with you and everything else around you to better your life. The only downfall I see of this is it seems like people would forget how to not use technology, and would be completely helpless if it was lost.

    Complete integration is really important. It is a focus of many technological advancements. This is due to the fact that people want technology that makes life as whole easier not just individual tasks. I am eager to see what technologies the future will actually hold!

    Interesting assessments by the individuals in that provided video Percy. I personally keyed into the statement that technology will operate in a more conversational (social) manner that's similar to how humans interact. The further technological-based assessments are interesting especially with regard to gene mapping and what diseases somebody may face within their lifetime.

    Now this is scary and yet so amazing. The fact that they are already predicting that typing a password into a device is something that is going to be in the past, is unreal. A device is going to recognize your face and allow you to have access to it. The scary part is the phone aspect in how the devices will pick up your phone conversation and automatically send a calendar invite to your device. New technologies are definitely amazing but still, there is little to no talk on how they are going to secure the environments that they are creating.
  • Gilbert Rivera on 30 Jun 13
     
    Very interesting article. Basically, all human existence will be completely gone by 2020. I can't believe these technologies even exist and are currently in the prototype stage. You never know, this technology can take over sooner that what this article expect. The most interesting technology to me the use of sensors. If things come out to be in full effect, with the use of these sensors can provide very accurate data and help avoid the use of any fraudulent it identity threats. Thanks!

    I read this article and loved it. After reading it a while back I became very interested in Gesture Control. This is the emerging technology that I chose for this class. I know that this article talks about the use of this technology in the office but we have already seen it in Smartphones (the new Galaxy) who knows where it will pop up next!

    This is a great site with a simple archive system. I read the article on the 80% increase for android malware in China. The Android platform is a security nightmare. Everyday it seems like a new exploit is exposed and it takes months for a update.

    Call it the cyber-attack that never happened. A false alarm that sent the Economic Development Agency scrambling. When the dust settled, the EDA had spent half of its information technology budget - or nearly $3 million - destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of perfectly functioning computer equipment. Talk about using up your resources...literally.

    Great artical. There must have been enough positive indicators for the EDA to take action. In a case like this it's better to be safe than sorry, but that doesn't make it easier to explain to tax payers!

    What stood out to me was that they did not follow the incident handling procedure. Those documents are put together for a reason. I also question why there was not a manager to oversee the incident response for something of this size. I blame management for this one.
  • Cheryl Hoffman on 26 Jul 13
     
    I agree with a better safe than sorry approach most of the time, but I have to agree with Bob that procedures weren't followed and equipment was unnecessarily destroyed.

    Unexpected security risks can arise with new, emerging computer technologies. We seek to stay one step ahead of the "bad guys" and identify, measure, and learn from their risks before actual threats manifest. We co-led the first experimental study of the computer security properties of wireless implantable medical devices.

    Abstract: The fusion of social networks and wearable sensors is becoming increasingly popular, with systems like Fitbit automating the process of reporting and sharing user fitness data. In this paper we show that while compelling, the integration of health data into social networks is fraught with privacy and security vulnerabilities.
