I mostly use Internet Explorer – I know, why do I do that? But I find it much better because I don’t have to worry about the plug-ins I have to install for it like Firefox or Chrome. I use Chrome for sites that run too many scripts and slow in IE. But I know each browser has their flaws and I hope there is a better way to fix it instead of using…[Read more]

I agree this should be seen as a warning because ransomware is no joke and glad this was done early so we can expect some things in the future but the story is amusing lol.

RIght? That’s what I was thinking but maybe it was a way to disturb other websites who use github for their coding?

This is pretty cool – I use private browsing sometimes and I never knew about the data leaks. I hope this comes out soon.

GitHub is a code hosting website and someone or some group managed to find a misconfigured Memcached server(s) and spoofed an IP Address to create the DDoS event. The attack caused over 1.35Tbps of data, which is […]

Wonder why attacking GitHub and not a financial website….! But it s good to know. Thanks.

I like the title for this post – it’s clever! And I can see that happening since the epidemic is causing many problems and when doctors and nurses are rushed, they will ignore protocols. As hospitals are usually targeted by hackers, this situation will definitely not help.

I found this article a week ago and I thought it was interesting since I know at my job, other companies and even Temple students use Google Chrome for work or personal use. The malware would ask users to call a […]

Good article, definitely something to be aware of. Every time I read the words Google Chrome, I automatically think “leeches.” They collect more data than any other browser and it is like they need your data to survive just like a leech needs blood. I try to avoid using Google Chrome as much as possible. When I initially read the title of the article, I was like “another reason to not use Google Chrome.” After reading the entire article, other browsers can be affected too. I have heard of this scam before, but I know for a fact the users were not using Google Chrome as their browser. I am pretty sure my dad has experienced this scam once or twice and I had to help him with it. I am wondering if there is a better solution. My dad has experienced this a few times and it would be nice if there was something better other than “use the task manager to end task and terminate the browser.”

Pretty interesting article Neil. Chrome is definitely something more than 40% of consumers use in their daily lives and it is quite bizarre to see Google saw this much later. Not sure how many consumers were already duped of this. Though I haven’t faced this ever before in Google Chrome, but did face it in other web applications that I use for social media. I would rather be careful next time and not to share any personal information with anyone claiming to be from an authentic source, unless validated. Thanks for sharing this!

You talk about this subject and this is especially true when using online dating sites like OKCupid, Tinder, Match, etc – since sometimes you can validate the person, but is there a system or something running that validates the account that makes a person fall for catfishing?

This sounds great and if implemented properly by both Amazon and the customer, there are ways to mitigate the risks. Anyone with a security system such as Ring can see when Amazon made the delivery. The cloud cam is a good idea as it can track the delivery driver. I think as time progresses, they can modify it and it may become stronger in terms…[Read more]

After I read this article, it was cool to hear that blackberry was trying to implement its software and technology to something other than phones. I don’t think they should get back to the phones just yet as it looks promising they can niche for themselves in other industries for technology.

I see your point Donald, I overlooked that fact about TCP being a regulator of traffic and the dropped packets. It is essential to an organization who monitors network traffic to see if the packets received were supposed to come through were reported as spam and vice versa.

Discussion Topic 14.3 – I would report my findings as needed, regardless if the new programmer is the relative of the VP. The VP can offer whatever he wants but in the end, the integrity of myself is more important than more money. In the world of cyber security, we don’t want to encourage people who break the law and not comply with IT laws.…[Read more]

With all the competitors around. Blackberry should have something outstanding to other phones to be able to make a comeback.

Hello Neil,
That’s an interesting article to share and learn. Blackberry’s case if quite interesting because it uses one of the most secure operating systems that is quite closely connected to the internal networks. Despite this the threat of cyber-attacks has become so common that companies need to constantly change and implement new security patches. It just a matter of hope to see blackberry turnaround. -

I definitely agree to this article that medical industry needs an overhaul and a complete change in the way security is handled at different levels. Handling alone might not be useful and all stakeholders including governments, doctors, and cyber experts need to come together to form a partnership on implementation of cyber security.
