    1. What evidence does Google present for Chinese government censorship? Google says that Chinese customers and advertisers have increasingly been complaining about their Gmail service in the past month. Attempts by users to send messages, mark messages as unread and use other services have generated problems for Gmail customers. Google shows potential signs that the Chinese government is increasing their censorship by revealing that Gmail's e-mailing system features have been disrupted for Gmail users as well as other Gmail interfaces such as sending e-mails. Google also reveals that the users who filed in these complaints are mostly potential threats to the Chinese government such as the activist accounts also with financial, technology, media and chemical companies users' accounts. Thus, even though there is no concrete evidence, there are signs that are most likely to be linked to the Chinese government. 2. How does this impact the Jasmine revolution? The move follows extensive attempts by the Chinese authorities to crack down on the Jasmine revolution, an online dissident movement inspired by events in the Middle East. The censorship was supposed to prevent people from getting too much information but instead, this can provoke people to go against the government since people are aware that they have been treated unfairly. 3. Describe LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking site. LinkedIn operates the world's largest professional network on the Internet with more than 100 million members in over 200 countries and territories. The purpose of the site is to allow registered users to maintain a list of contact details of people they know and trust in business. The people in the list are called Connections. Users can invite anyone to become a connection. 4. Why was LinkedIn disrupted? LinkedIn is business-social networking and Chinese can use this site as the means of evoking opposition against the government. China's president Hu Jint

    1. How might the internet be useful for the Egyptian citizens? Egyptian citizens, especially for the protesters, have organized the initial protests against the government online, through social media such as Facebook groups. The restored Internet would allow them to use to do so again and other citizens are now back to their computers and can have regular socialization online. A main ways of communication with the outside world as well as with themselves, Internet would allow the citizens to join together through websites on the internet to create groups that support what they think is best for them. In this case, they want a reelection from their current leader. 2. What does it mean "bring down Egyptian websites"? "Bring down Egyptian websites" means to stop access to those Egyptian websites through means such as having a DoS attack on the website. Also hackers can hack into the website and destroy the coding and content of the website and thus "bring down" the websites. Bringing down Egyptian websites can also mean that they are blocking all access to Egypt because there wouldn't be any portal into Egypt if all the Egyptian websites are brought down.

The tablets that offer internet as well as phone features play an important role in making the system work. The tablets offer a larger screen for the access compared to mobile phones, and it is challenging business companies and sites to remake their site into different various resolutions to fit all the new screen sizes. This affects the software of the program as well as the use of internet to connect to these sites. These sites offer personal and public communications through sites like Facebook. Social Networking - the grouping of individuals who have joined together to form a virtual community or neighborhood subdivision. Smart Phone: the "smart" mobile device that offers more advanced connectivity than the normal contemporary feature phone. 5. If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue). Users around Thailand are now being more connected online besides the rural areas where cable TV have a larger impact.

    What does cloud computing deal with? Cloud computing deals with all the technology and support for the infrastructure of the cloud such as networking, database, storage, and management applications. Describe each of the characteristics cloud services must have. Fshared services (with standard framework and shared application programming interface (API)) - these services can be shared in order for all users to have access to them. Fstandard user interface - Web browsers to have access to the cloud services. Fself-service - Users must help themselves by self service when it comes to doing cloud services since actions are carried over the computer, not from human to human. Fservice metering - The Charge of the usage of the cloud services. Faccess over the internet - The medium of having access to the internet, as well as other places over the internet. Explain horizontal and vertical services. Horizontal Services - cloud applications, cloud storage, cloud servers, and cloud collaboration. These horizontal services are the services that are spread around horizontally as the infrastructure, and the base of the cloud service. It provides the technology and memory for clouds for example. Vertical Services - government services, cloud entertainment, cloud publishing and online ad networks, cloud healthcare, and cloud telecommunications. These vertical services are basically what we use the cloud services for, which field they are in, and how they are used. Define each layer of services. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - This is a service usually from outsourcing done by an organization so that the actual infrastructure to hold the storage, hardware, and other components are stored elsewhere. Why is bandwidth important? Internet bandwidth will drive the popularity of cloud services in the country, as businesses and consumers will demand more services as bandwidth increases. Speedy network reliability is needed for "megabit-per-second" services.

    1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. Security 2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. The hacking group which is called 'Turkguvenligi' and seven victims (Sites) 3. Identify one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. Privacy and anonymity 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. URL- A URL is an address that shows where a particular page can be found on the World Wide Web. URL is an abbreviation for `Uniform Resource Locator'. Meaning, it is an address to access to web. DNS- DNS stands for Domain name system. It is a network service that is converting or interpreting domain or host name to IP address. In this case, it is easy to convert domain to IP address so, hackers could easily access to the webs. NBT- It stands for NetBIOS over TCP and IP. It is kind of rule for communicating that exists to run NetBIOS application in TCP and IP. NetBIOS application is an application or program interface that has been used in PC-LAN. TCP stands for transmission control protocol. It is a core protocol of the Internet Protocol Suite. SQL injection- It is a basic skill to hack information. Its ways to do is too easy so, most web sites are blocked for this. Hackers put special elements such as ' or ] between ID and password to call server to DB. They changed SQL sequence. Suppose, SELECT count(user_id) from USER_TB where user_id='test' and pw='1234' (Example) That sequence allows to login, and people can login if the result is over than 1. So, we put ' 'or 1=1 ' the space between ID and password and change it through injection attack. 5. If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue). Since the seven web sites are hacked behind the scenes, security has to be reinforced than before. Also, they need to update the web site to check any 'debris' from attack.

    1. Identify the scenario. Business 2. Describe a social/ethical concern and the relationship of one primary stakeholder to the IT system in the article. Security is a social/ethical concern because it regards the security of the Database Servers that are used to store the Domain Names and IP addresses. With insufficient security, the database security can be breached by outsiders and be altered. The primary stakeholder is Group NBT, and is the domain name management firm of NetNames and Ascio whose DNS Databases were compromised in this attack. Their SQL commands were infiltrated by the hackers, so that the information stored on their DNS Database was altered, that made website visitors be re-directed to spam websites. 3. Describe the IT concepts and processes. Domain Name System (DNS) - The address book for the website that links the URL of websites to IP address numbers that computers use to visit a website. IP Address - The numbers that are separated by period dots that make up a website's numerical address of its location. (DNS) Database - A database is a massive spreadsheet with numerous data types and forms used to store large amounts of data (in this case, websites' domain names URL and their respective IP addresses.) SQL Injection - SQL stands for Structured Query Language, used for database manipulation. This is a hacking method by using the various layers present in SQL commands, by 'injecting' a hidden command that enables to create a loop hole for access and change the database information. This includes changing strings of commands in the original SQL command into malicious commands, that are executed when the altered SQL command is executed. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms161953.aspx
  •  
    4. Explain the relationship between the IT system referred to in the article and the concern presented above. The security of the DNS Databases run by NetNames and Ascio (two subsidiaries of domain name management firm Group NBT) is a concern. Their SQL commands were being altered and compromised, which resulted in the altered domain names and IP address links. Their relationship is that the concern is the IT system's (in this case the Database's) security. The IT system, Group NBT's Database, has a concern over it's security. The DNS Database system has a security concern because the hackers were able to alter the paths of redirecting certain websites to scam websites instead through a SQL Injection attack that manipulates the SQL command used to manipulate the domain name database. 5. Describe and evaluate the impact of a social/ethical issue on the stakeholders The social/ethical issue is security. The stakeholders are Vodafone, the Daily Telegraph, UPS, and four other websites, Turkish hackers (Turkguvenligi), and internet users who visited those seven websites within the hacking duration. This has an impact on their security issue because their database has already been compromised once, and unless they create a new system of security to prevent SQL injections, they will never be able to know when someone is changing their SQL command strings. They need to have someone constantly monitoring their SQL to see if there are any changes. The security issue impacts Group NBT because it makes their customers that use their services doubt the secure service because hackers were able to alter the redirection of customers to scam websites instead of their respective website. Therefore security, to a large extent, has an impact on Group NBT. 6. Explain and evaluate one solution to the issue identified. A solution to the issue identified by NBT was to further review their Database system to ensure customers of a more secure service, since it is impossible for a

If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue). Gucci needs to be stricter to their employees. They need to closely monitor anyone that can access the company's financial system and any vital part. By doing so, employees would not even think of hacking the system. Moreover, educating their workers into not being tricked to activate any other fraud employee accounts. Also, improving the authorization system of employees to access information with biometrics may be helpful to increase the security of their data and network system.

    Why are iphones tracking people? april 28' cream
  •  
    Why are iphones tracking people? This is the issue of storing user's location data in unencrypted file. The file, named "consolidated.db," is an unencrypted SQLite database that can be found in the devices' file systems and in the iOS backup files created and updated by iTunes every time an iPhone or 3G iPad is synced. Since, we know that Apple is actually collecting location and some information on iphone that's why iphone is not safe at all. Although the file isn't immediately accessible on the device itself, it can be accessed on a jailbroken device via the iTunes-generated backup file. It also could potentially be accessed using other tools that allow you to explore an iOS device's file system while it's attached to a computer.

    The universe of apps has made life more convenient, more fun and more distracting. For example, you can find your lover. But in truth, most apps are designed for those whose life is already convenient. According survey there are total of 1.4 million people with disabilities in thailand. Worldwide, there are many apps which help facilitate the lives of physically impaired. 1. TTRS MESSAGE. This service allows people with hearing or speech impairment to place calls to standard telephone users via a keyboard or assistive device. TTRS operators interpret the calls, which can be initiated by either party. Callers use a text input device to contact the TTRS relay centre, then give the operator the number of the party he or she wants to call. The operator, in turn, will place an outbound traditional voice call to that particular party. The operator serves as a link between the two callers, relaying the text of the initial caller in voice to the other party, as well as converting spoken words to text. The service was first offered only via desktop and kiosk platforms, but it is now available to mobile users via an app. 2.Read for the blind.
