As Ankit Fadia, 28, works on his laptop, his fingers furiously tapping away, there is silence in the packed auditorium in central Delhi.  His projector throws images of codes and symbols onto a white wall, and then suddenly, the crowd bursts into spontaneous applause. Another website has been successfully hacked and unlocked. But rather than doing something illegal, Mr Fadia, who describes himself as an ethical hacker, says he is trying to protect people and businesses from a rising wave of cyber crime. "The difficulty about tackling cyber crime is that it's increasing all the time," says Mr Fadia. "If we control one set of attacks there are hundreds more the next minute. That's why we need our systems, policing, the law, prepared for this kind of cyber onslaught." Spam manager Continue reading the main story " Start Quote Though India has laws aimed at tackling cyber crime, it isn't used effectively" Ankit Fadia Ethical hacker According to a recent report by global research and accounting firm Ernst and Young, data or information theft was the most committed fraud in India last year. That data can be anything from personal details, to bank accounts, to company contacts and secrets. Ernst and Young warns that it could cost companies as much as 5% of their profits if they are targeted by cyber criminals. At the same time, there has been an increase in nuisance internet issues such as spamming, with India recently overtaking the US to become the top global contributor of junk messages. The BBC's Shilpa Kannan reports on what companies are doing to protect themselves from cyber attacks And while this jams an inbox and is a headache for the consumer, for the government there are also more serious issues, such as national security and trying to avoid a potential cyber attack by a terrorist group. According to the Minister of State for Communications and IT, Sachin Pilot, more than 100 Indian government websites were hacked in the first three months of

A global security company issued a scam warning against spam messages with catchy subject lines for Internet users this Valentine's season.   Users must be extra careful in opening messages in their email accounts especially during the holidays as they can receive spam mails meant to get their attention and steal their personal data.   One such scam warning issued by an antivirus company describes email messages that invites users to buy a gift for his/her loved one for Valentine's using an attached discount coupon from Groupon.   Even though the proliferation of coupon services is not totally an illegal method, their popularity comes with the risk of being used in phishing attacks.   Phishing can be done by sending a massive amount of email messages asking people to enter their details on a bogus website - one that looks very similar to the popular auction sites, social networking sites and online payment sites. They are designed to obtain personal details like passwords, credit card information, etc.   Through including links in email messages, scammers trick users into visiting malicious sites and online stores, obtaining personal data along the way. Most of the time, the website the link points to is not even connected to the email message but only shows the user promotional content. This is the scammer's illegal way of earning money called click fraud - they earn for every user they have redirected to a certain website.   There is also scam making the rounds in Germany involving gift coupons, distributed through Facebook, purporting to be from Amazon.   Spywares and malwares are malicious programs that install themselves on a computer unit to record a user's activity. Eventually, they will send the logs they have collected back to the scammer who plans on pilfering the data for online crimes.   Scammers are freely exploiting different online platforms like Orkut, Myspace, Google+ and Twitter to cast their net on millions of users.   Yet ano

Norton Scientific Reviews: Symantec source code leaked by hackers A group of hackers who call themselves the Lords of Dharmaraja, (and is associated with Anonymous) have published the source code of Symantec, a digital security firm know for the Norton antivirus program and pcAnywhere, raising concerns that others could exploit the security holes and try to control the users computer. The release of the source code came after the 'extortion' attempt failed as Symantec did not comply with their numerous deadlines. Negotiations through email messages between a representative of the hacker group, YamaTough, and someone from Symantec were also released online. The exchange of messages are about Symantec's offer to pay USD 50,000 for the hackers to stop disclosing the source code and announce to the public that the whole Symantec hack was a fake, which made them a subject of mockery

Their Accusation is based on an Opinion paper byRoberts and Tren published in Research and Reports in Tropical Medicine. So let's look at their paper and see where the "Scientific Fraud" is. Roberts and Tren's key argument is that reductions in malaria in the Americas were not the result of Global Environmental Facility interventions but were caused by increased use of antimalarial drugs. In their own words: "However, their successes were not a result of the interventions we describe as components of the GEF project. Their successes were mostly a result of wide distributions of antimalarial drug

Oracle has fallen dangerously behind the times with the security policies and practices it utilises on its Java platform, according to one of Kaspersky Lab's top researchers. Roel Schouwenberg, a senior antivirus researcher with the Kaspersky Lab global research and analysis team told V3 that Oracle has not kept pace with the security advances made by other companies in recent years. "You can see that Microsoft has gone to sandboxing for Office, Adobe has gone that way, Google has gone that way with Chrome," Schouwenberg noted. "When you look at what Oracle has done, the sad reality is nothing. And I have to ask why we are letting Oracle get away with this?" According to figures from Kaspersky, Java remains a top target for malware writers and cyber criminals. Along with Adobe Reader and Flash, Java vulnerabilities are the most popular for online exploits which lead to malware infections. Adobe has extended the security protections on Reader and Flash. Oracle however has only recently installed basic security measures, says Schouwenberg. "Two years ago I would have been slamming Adobe for its security," the researcher said. "Adobe still makes its mistakes, but with Oracle we don't see anything that they are doing to change something." Oracle did not respond to a request for comment on the matter. While the Java maker was singled out for its practices, Oracle is far from the only vendor Schouwenberg sees ignoring security issues. He noted that Google's loose oversight of its Play market has left Android devices vulnerable to malware, while Apple continues to ignore major security risks on the OS X platform in the wake of the Flashback malware outbreak. Throughout the entire market, Schouwenberg sees the need for better security response time and policies should vendors wish to protect users from malware. "Any program that can be directly accessed from a web browser should be checking for updates every other day, reasonably, and definitely not less than once a week,"

Stop dreaming of how your home could look and buy your dream property at Hillside Park in Stoke with help from Elan Homes. Featuring a selection of three and four-bedroom homes, Hillside Park is the ideal choice for families looking for a new home in the Norton area. Elan invests great care and attention to detail into all of its homes with stylish, modern appliances and the best fixtures and fittings throughout. Marie Morris, sales director for Elan Homes in the north, explains: "Hillside Park is really starting to take shape and visitors can get a real feel for the development now as there's more for them to see - in fact we can now show them around a finished example of each house type. Being able to view a property really fires up people's imaginations and enables them to visualise how their belongings would look and what life could be like in a new home." Prices at Hillside Park range from £124,995 for a Cheltenham style home with three bedrooms, to £199,995 for the final four-bedroom property in the current phase. The four-bedroom Malvern is spacious family home featuring an open plan layout with combined kitchen, dining area and family room, separate lounge and cloaks to the ground floor; upstairs the en-suite shower room to the master bedroom complements the family bathroom. "When you compare the cost of repairing, renovating and running an older property to buying a new one, buying second hand simply doesn't add up," Marie adds. "Instead of seeing the potential of an older property and maybe having to knock down walls and replace the kitchen cabinets, bathroom suite or heating system, our customers can buy their dream home and move in almost straight away." The homes at Hillside Park don't just look great, but are practical too. As they are built to impressively high insulation standards, they are more energy efficient and therefore should be cheaper to run than a second hand property. "The standard specification includes

Patients, pharmacies and hospitals in New Brunswick are feeling the ripple effects of a temporary stop in production by one of the country's largest medical drug producers, Sandoz Canada in Quebec. In Dieppe, pharmacist Dennis Abud said that he is running out of several medications, including injectable painkillers like morphine. The shortage has been affecting his patients. Abud said that in some cases he has managed to provide patients with the drugs they need, but not in a timely fashion. "My staff got together and did a couple of phone calls and figured out a way to get it to the patient. But I don't know if that patient waited in pain for a while." Sandoz Canada - one of the country's leading suppliers of generic cancer and heart medications - announced in late February that it was temporarily suspending production at its Boucherville, Que., facility. Sandoz has scaled back production of certain drugs - mostly painkillers, antibiotics and anaesthetics - to upgrade operations after quality-control assessments by the FDA warned the factory fell short of its standards. To exacerbate supply concerns, a fire Sunday in the ceiling above the boiler room of Sandoz's Boucherville plant has halted all production until at least Monday, and the company says it is assessing any impact to product supply. "I got on the phone and tried to order some new product and it was already too late," Abud said. "It's been really frustrating for pharmacists." John Staples, a Moncton pharmacist, said that the problem is not new. "It's been going on for two years," he said. "Sometimes they say there's none anywhere in the city." Both health networks in New Brunswick are keeping a close eye on the situation. "It is an exhaustive process. We've got pharmacists and administrative staff at all of our hospitals, going through all of our inventory numbers, looking at all the specific medications," said Luc Foulem, a spokesperson for Vitalite Health Network. "So if we do have a
