ITU Requires Blackberry Gives Access to the Data

Widespread problem on blocking the Blackberry is appealing the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). They even asked RIM to cooperate with the state government. Leadership of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) hopes Blackberry manufacturer, Research in Motion (RIM), may provide the possibility of a legal entity of a country to be able to access customer data for legal purposes.

"The government of a country that is trying to combat terrorism have the right to gain access to user information from the manufacturer of the Blackberry, RIM," said Secretary General of ITU Hamadoun Toure. According to Hamadoun, it is a 'request earnestly' mandatory was filled, and there should be cooperation between both parties, both government and private parties to solve urgent security issues like this.

Previously, Saudi Arabia and the countries the United Arab Emirates took the decision to block RIM's Blackberry service if not willing to work together to give access to information related to encrypted communication that occurs between Blackberry users in the country. In addition to Arabic and the UAE, following India, Brazil, even Indonesia will do the same thing.

Carefully use the Wi-Fi in Public Places

Internet users commonly use Wi-Fi service requested in order to be more careful. According Anitivirus company Symantec warned of the risk of the virus in a public room. "Public facilities such as wifi is in fact much more vulnerable broken into by hackers, and insert a fake Antivirus, to deceive the user," explained Symantec's senior Nick Johnston.

In fact, he confessed to finding a large terminal in the airport security system in the UK who was using a fake Antivirus aka "scareware." According to him, using scareware, fake Antivirus malware will insert a task to disable or remove the Antivirus software that is legal. So they are free to install illegal software on the PC user.

"Scareware is a type of malware or hackers can force the infected computer users to use the full version of software that can eradicate the virus fictitious," he added. Software was forcibly installed by the hackers, and they can easily steal personal information like bank accounts, email accounts, social media networking, and so forth.

So be careful when you are going to use Wi-Fi in public areas, and alert to the pitfalls of cyber criminals.

3 Hours of Mobile Phone Roaming Tariffs in Malaysia $1,100

Couples Singapore-shocked after seeing his phone bill swells to $1,100 after a trip to Johor in Malaysia. Though the couple only stopped at a restaurant in Johor about three hours. The bill came from the wife's mobile phone service. Her husband, Wong objected to the bill that his wife's cell phone. Billing details of data shows that the largest cost of data services to reach around $982.

"We arrived in Malaysia some time ago, around 20:00 pm local time, and we just had dinner at a restaurant. After three hours we went back to Singapore, but at the end of the month I was shocked after receiving the bill of $1,100 on roaming charges," said Wong. Wong was known to use the services of Singapore operator M1, wearing a roaming data tariff, to use data services when customers are overseas. Tariff data roaming services can include receiving and sending emails, browsing the Web, or accessing social networking features to use the phone.

"But, my wife's cell phone was in the bag just when we were in Malaysia, my wife's phone is a slider phone, and after the phone is closed, all functions should automatically switch off. There's no way she can not accidentally use data services," he said. In addition, he said, his wife also did not have the habit to use data services through mobile phones. "So it is highly unlikely," said Wong. M1 itself states have provided relief around $100, so that Wong must pay $1,000 to the charge.

Malware Infiltrate in the Image File


Microsoft Malware Protection Center (MMPC) has positively identified the malicious script is embedded in the image file. Malware, which is currently circulating on 4chan message board, seems to be the next stage in the evolution of a known threat 4chan.js first appeared in 2008. Not surprisingly, the latest iteration 4chan.js depend on user trust and unfamiliarity image file format using the format HTA. "Infection is the image format PNG storing data in a compressed format is quite dangerous," said researcher Michael Johnson MMPC.

"Users can follow the instructions inside. PNG and save the file as a bitmap (BMP) with HTA extension. This is by performing decompression of files containing images, some JavaScript, and one or more files that can be executed," said Michael. According to Johnson, the above method allows the malware to repackage themselves, defeating the CAPTCHA mechanism from 4Chan.

In this method, we see, the bitmap is created with a random variable at a time. Of course, most users tend to believe the image format. They may not realize that the same image file may contain malicious scripts that are embedded. For that MMPC recommend that users do not have to follow the instructions you see a random picture, especially if the instruction involves changing the file in any way and then run it.

Frog Eggs used for Odor and Gas Detector

Researchers in Japan have created an accurate sensors capable of detecting odors and gases by using frog eggs that have been genetically engineered.  In a journal published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, the scientists hope the discovery could design a better machine, to detect polluting gases like carbon dioxide. "This discovery is important for the environment" said Shoji Takeuchi of the Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo.

Takeuchi and his colleagues injected DNA from three insects such as silk moths, gnats and fruit flies gold back, into the eggs of the African frog. The merger of the three DNA can be used for detecting insects and the smell of gas.  "We inject the DNA into frog eggs, then we can use a sensor that is cheap and useful." Takeuchi said. The eggs that have been genetically modified is placed in a special cartridge, where so they can detect different chemicals and odors.

"We use three kinds of pheromones and one odorant (four of them are chemically the same) and these eggs could clearly detect the type of chemical smell and different." Takeuchi added. The team is hoping to use the same method to detect gases such as carbon dioxide in the future. "When you think like a mosquito, it's easy to find because the carbon dioxide humans are humans. So mosquitoes have CO2 sensors recipients. Thus we can extract DNA from the mosquito into the eggs of frogs in order to detect CO2." Takeuchi clear.

Shopping Online in the UK Increased

Shopping is done via the internet in the UK have increased over the last three years. Online shopping has increased each year as many as 18 percent in a month. This is the biggest leap since 2007. Thus the results of the survey by IMRG.

According to IMRG, too, from the results of shopping via the internet is, during the month of July alone was able to collect an average of 5 billion pounds. In addition, when compared with a year ago there was an increase of 1.1 percent. The average UK shopper spends £ 81 in July. This increase is mainly due to promotions and discounts that also increases spending.

"Although online retail sales actually survived the recession because it is more convincing, but the last two years, new online sales really is not unshakable," said Chris Webster, head of retail consulting and technology IMRG. "This is really encouraging post-crisis growth in 2007 and before the consumer confidence eroded as the financial crisis and recession," he said.

Product Usage of Wi-Fi 802.11n Standard Increases

Standard wireless networking technology, or wireless local area network (WLAN), which is popular in the world there are only three, namely Wi-Fi standard (Wireless Fidelity) 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. But in October 2009, the world got one more WLAN standards, namely Wi-Fi 802.11n. Compared with previous standards, 802.11n Wi-Fi offers higher data transfer speeds and further range. Thanks to all the benefits of WLAN technology, 802.11n Wi-Fi, research firm ABI (Allied Business Intelligence) Research Inc. estimates that the adoption of WLAN equipment Wi-Fi 802.11n technology in the world in 2010 will increase rapidly.

"In 2010, global sales volume of equipment WLAN Wi-Fi 802.11n technology will reach 32.2 million units. That is, Wi-Fi 802.11n will dominate the global market share of more than 20 percent this year," said Industry Analyst, ABI Research Inc. Serene Fong. From the producer side, ABI Research estimates that Cisco Systems Inc. will dominate the global market network equipment Wi-Fi 802.11n WLAN with a market share of about 63 percent in 2010.  In the same period, ABI Research added, Aruba Networks Inc. will occupy the second position with a global market share of around 25 percent.

 "The producers are striving hard to increase market share by releasing products that have a range of further and more consistent performers," explained ABI Research Associate Research Inc. Khin Sandi. More than that, ABI Research added, the WLAN equipment manufacturers are also vying to cut prices. One example is Aruba. ABI Research said the current networking equipment have released Aruba Wi-Fi 802.11n WLAN worth the same as the network equipment WLAN 802.11g Wi-Fi.

"The presence of network equipment products Wi-Fi 802.11n WLAN cheap, such as products from Aruba can encourage the growth of the global market because of consumer WLAN equipment and companies that have not been utilizing the WLAN becomes interested in using it," said Khin. Research firm International Data Corp. (IDC) added, the WLAN technology, as well as product price declines WLAN network equipment, will create a cable network technology, or Ethernet, the more desperate.

"It used Wi-Fi is a need for secondary or even tertiary, but now the Wi-Fi is a primary need. Market Wi-Fi in all areas of the world grew rapidly thanks to the presence of applications, tools, and new technologies," explained Director of IDC's Enterprise Communications Infrastructure Rohit Mehra. In the world, cable connectivity technologies are increasingly being pressured by wireless. Research firm Strategy Analytics Inc., express, cable is currently in danger because of the increasingly aggressive technology manufacturers developing the technology of high-speed wireless data transfer.

"In 2014, more than two billion units of electronic tools that are available in the market will no longer use a cable such as HDMI (high definition multimedia interface), but the wireless data transfer technology, high-speed short distance," said Strategy Analytics Inc. Research Analyst Christopher Taylor. Among the world's technology giants, Sony Corp., known as the most aggressive technology manufacturers to develop wireless data transfer technology, high-speed short distance.

Currently Sony is developing technology called TransferJet. The technology is claimed to be able to transfer data wirelessly at speeds 560 Mbps (megabits per second). As a result, TransferJet technology allows electronic devices to each other to transfer huge files, such as high-definition video, with very high speed. Sony is committed to plant TransferJet technology into its electronic products in the future. Sony is also pushing other electronics manufacturers to take advantage of TransferJet so that more products will be available who can communicate with TransferJet.

WiFi Disrupt the Child's Health

Results of recent research states that wireless Internet networks such as WiFi apparently can endanger children's health in Canada.A number of children in Canada experience symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea and increased heart rate when in any area WiFi.

In its report, the parents realized their children experiencing strange symptoms over the past year. Even some of those who are impaired in their school. This phenomenon occurs because the intensity of his own microwave in one classroom at the School of Simcoe County was four times more powerful than cell phone towers.

What was experienced by the children was actually never happened in July last year. A British DJ named Steve Miller stated that he was allergic to the wireless network. Allergies are caused by electromagnetic sensitivity makes Miller suffered headaches and dizziness when in range of WiFi signal. Some researchers are investigating further, about the dangers that arise by this WiFi signal, and not all people experience similar things, unless they possessed allergies.

Google Android Sued by Oracle Corp

Oracle Corp. filed for patent and copyright infringement against Google Inc. over the Android software, citing the acquisition of technology from Sun Microsystems Inc. in January last.  "In developing Android, Google is aware, directly and repeatedly violated the relevant Oracle's Java application, this lawsuit seeking the right solution for their transgressions" said Oracle spokeswoman Karen Tillman.

By Oracle, Sun Java technology allows developers to write programs that work on different operating systems and on different computers. This software runs on billions of mobile devices since last year. Google Android, the smartphone operating system, is one of the OS that uses this technology.

However, Oracle did not say whether to ask the court to stop the use of the invention or are looking for cash compensation. Meanwhile, Google through his spokesman Andrew Pederson says the company has not received a report the breach, so no comment. This new case sticking out, according to some observers as another way to bring down Google.

Internet is More Reliable than a Friend

The Internet is a borderless world which is also the most extensive public spaces. But you are announcing, today people have more confidence to tell their secrets on the internet compared with their own friends.  From 3,000 correspondents surveyed indicated that the average adult does not think twice before entering some very personal details about himself when registering on social networking sites.

In real life most of them will not trust their friends to give your PIN number, for example. They are just to add more information about him/her on Facebook or Twitter. According to NetApp as well, with a good 86 percent caring for them and not letting the secret PIN number to friends and acquaintances, and only 5 percent of which reveal some important infornasi to those closest.

Compare with information on the Internet, more than 60 percent gave their birth date on your favorite social site. 50 percent of online users to let all visitors know the status of their relationship, with 30 percent adding a partner for all to see. Commenting on this, Paul Wooding, head of UK Public Sector for NetApp, call this irony. He went on to emphasize that it's really worrying that people have so much confidential information such as home addresses are available on their Facebook profile.

Request of Various Countries to Access BlackBerry Data

India is likely to suspend the BlackBerry service if unresolved security issues with RIM. Disputes between companies of Canada (RIM) and several countries in different world seems far from finished. India's latest ultimatum to the BlackBerry maker, Research In Motion (RIM), came a day after the company was willing to give the user code so that the government of Saudi Arabia can monitor the BlackBerry Messenger (BBM). That was done so that the Saudis did not stop the BlackBerry services. BlackBerry email and messaging services are the target for the government in various countries are concerned with national security.

India, like many other countries in the Middle East and North Africa, want access to the BlackBerry communications system that allegedly linked militant activity, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks which killed 166 people. Indian Ministry of Home Affairs will hold a press conference to explain the time limit for RIM to be willing to provide access to the details of encryption in the telecommunications system.  There are some who can talk about the deadline and a proposal to take stern measures against the Black-Berry service during the meeting," said Indian government official who refused to be quoted by name because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Another senior Indian government officials said that mobile phone operators may be asked to stop the Enterprise Email and Messenger services owned by RIM in a while, as a last alternative if RIM is not willing to grant access to their data. "If they do not provide solutions, we will ask cellular operators to stop certain services. Services that can be activated again when they (RIM) gives us a solution," said the source. Responsibility to meet the security requirements of India that depends on the cellular phone operators in India than RIM.

BlackBerry's success over the last few years related to network security, making executives can communicate securely. But this is precisely the problem for security authorities in various countries. The German government has banned politicians and public servants use the BlackBerry. While the EU Commission this month refused to support the BlackBerry to more than Apple's iPhone and HTC smartphones. RIM, unlike its competitors, Nokia and Apple, to operate their own network through the service are protected in Canada and some countries such as England
