  • Prevent Wi-Fi Eavesdroppers from Hijacking Your Accounts
  • Password sniffing and account hijacking have become more prevalent in recent years because of Wi-Fi and software that make these hacking techniques so easy
  • Both of the methods we're discussing require the eavesdropper to be connected to the same network as you.

  • These hacking techniques can still be used by other users on private networks using the Personal/Pre-Shared Key (PSK) mode of WPA/WPA2 encryption or the older WEP encryption. However, they can't be used on networks using the Enterprise/EAP mode of WPA/WPA2 encryption, which is usually used only by businesses and requires a separate 802.1X server.

  • With 72 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute, almost every moment of modern history is a cult waiting to happen. And it is becoming big business.
  • The billion dollar question is how: how to make your video “go viral”, spreading your particular slice of contemporary culture across the planet like a contagion.
  • Silliness is more important – but not vital, given that both the Kony documentary and the jump from space are entirely serious.

  • Similarly, although sex may remain the most powerful form of advertising, it barely features within this list. Visual excitement won’t do either, given that the year’s second-biggest hit features a single camera pointed at five people and a guitar.
  • irality isn’t actually a property of these videos at all. It’s a property of their audience: a description not of a particular object, but of the ways in which that object is used.
  • To pass on a video or link is to become an evangelist for an instant cult: to gain the status of an initiate, complete with social capital and mutual LOLs. Unlike a biological virus, which hijacks hapless cells no matter what their owners might want, these are infections you must decide to pass on.

safety internet threats children parental supervision

  • Child safety measures to protect against internet threats
  • In a poll of over 19,000 parents and children conducted by security firm Norton, 7% of UK parents said they had absolutely no idea what their kids were up to on their computers and phones.
  • Even more worryingly, 30% (39% worldwide) said they had suffered a "serious" negative experience. This included, among other things, invitations to meet online "friends" in real life and exposure to indecent pictures of someone they did not know.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The ever-growing adoption of social networks, instant messages and mobile communication leaves the door open to more subtle attacks - both of a technological and psychological nature.
  • "Parents must realise that technology alone can't keep children safe online," Deborah Preston, the company's internet security advocate.
  • "To be truly safe it requires not only technology, but also a combination of open and ongoing dialogue and education between parents and children."
  • On social networks, account hijacking - where a child's account is accessed for a practical joke or more sinister purposes - can cause considerable distress.
  • A poll by Virgin Media suggests that 38% of parents whose children have suffered from cyberbullying feel unable to protect them due to a lack of knowledge and understanding of how the online world works.
  • This, Mr Abdul argued, could only be solved through greater education and a more honest understanding from parents about how real and damaging the effects of online bullying could be.
  • Mr Abdul added, the correct software, education and parental supervision means children can also be protected both at home and away.

  • Indeed, most users of Facebook (or Google+, or countless other social networking sites) seem unaware of just how much they are sharing.
  • it is ultimately the responsibility of the user to understand his or her settings and know what, precisely, is being shared.
  • users must educate themselves about the privacy policies and tools available to them on Facebook or any other given site. Using available tools, users can reasonably protect their content from the public view.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Still, the best rule of thumb for individuals concerned about their photographs or other content reaching the public view is to not post them on the internet at all. While this may sound extreme, remember that it only takes one "bad apple" to share your content with those to whom you have not given permission.
  • personal Facebook photos stolen to create high-profile fictional characters
  • you have privacy settings on Facebook and obviously it doesn't work because anyone can hijack your picture
