DDoS 'sponsors FBI to hire "website

In the news rather disconcerting, it emerged that the FBI suspected of sponsoring a website" for DDoS rent. "the site in question is Ragebooter, specializing in flood websites with fake traffic to overload the servers, blocking real users connect. While owners claim that the service Ragebooter is quite legitimate, which allows "stress-test" site owners their servers and networks, observers question the FBI links on the site - and specifically why the organization seems to be followed by activity and IP addresses of users.

Power Utilities face daily cyber attacks

A report by members of Congress said that many US electric utilities are attacked by cyber criminals. Of the 0 surveyed utilities, more than a dozen claimed that the attacks occurred frequently, if not daily, with one utility putting the monthly number of attacks to about 10,000 attempted coups. Many commentators are branding the report as "exaggerated", however, arguing that most control systems are protected against this type of threat, and that the attacks almost never rise to a level that deserves the media attention.

Microsoft may be reading your Skype messages

You might have felt quite safe in the knowledge that your Skype conversations are private correspondence, but Ars Technica sets warning users to think again. The publication of the technology found that Microsoft scans regularly for messages sent on the service in an attempt to uncover fraud, and warned that no one knows what happens to that information later - it could be preserved for future reference or simply destroyed. It is likely to be bad news for Microsoft (which was launched a campaign against Google Gmail scans for some time), as well as service users who rely on its alleged privacy - such as activists at risk or journalists in contact with sensitive sources.

major news outlets report that Turkish citizens protesting against Gezi Park redevelopment began using a private network virtual, or VPN, to spread their message. The increase in downloads of the service is considered a movement preempt anticipated government bans Internet services, including Twitter and Facebook. The initially peaceful demonstration that set up tents in the park exploded in civil strife since the police repressed the demonstrators. Protests have now spread across the country, and have come to be much more than the preservation of green spaces.

During the weekend, many protesters said they could not access the Internet and social media sites in order to coordinate their efforts. They believed it was the work of government, led by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He commented in the past that social media "is the worst menace to society," singling Twitter as "the best example of lies," although he still keeps an account with 2.8 million followers.

In a move seen as similar to the movement "Arab Spring" of 2011, the Turkish demonstrators used VPN services to access social media and maintain communications between the different groups in the cities. This allowed them to continue to coordinate their efforts, bypassing the Internet and blocks thwart government attempts to overturn their voice.

Prime Minister Erdogan finally agreed to meet a group that hopes can mediate with the protesters, but the BBC reports that protesters say they have not been approached by the Prime Minister, speak to him if they were, and do not recognize the group selected as representative of their movement.

The clashes have left thousands injured and three died after 13 days of protests. Erdogan warned that "no more tolerance" will be displayed, but the demonstrations - and tweeting - continue independently. As Twitter user @ ela-suleymangil said, "The revolution will not be televised. It will be tweeted. "

VPN services can be useful even to those who are not boycott the blocks of the government acting to protect the security of your data when using the Internet. A VPN provides additional defenses between the information stored on your device and any other person trying to access it.

South Korea to provide "the fastest ever '4G network

South Korean phone company SK Telecom says its new LTE-Advanced 4G network will allow customers to download files 150 megabits per second, ten times the rate of its current 3G service. the fastest 4G network in the UK is currently offering 75Mbps and even with plans in place to improve the service, users will not be able to download at faster than 100Mbps speeds. In practice, the SK Telecom users will not know the full potential rate, but the company says it will soon be fast enough to allow full HD video streaming as well as group video conversations in better sound quality and audio than ever. In order to access new download speeds, compatible devices are needed.

British Airways set to relax the rules on mobile phones

Airlines from other continents already allow the use of mobile phones and other devices immediately following landing, but so far, the European airlines have always applied keeping electronics out until the plane reaches the terminal. British Airways is set to be the first to relax these rules, with passengers able to use the devices as soon as the plane left the runway from July. Restrictions on the use of mobile phones during takeoff, however, will still be in force, and the devices must be switched off until the aircraft reaches 10,000ft.

South Korean government issued a cyber alert

South Korea issued a warning of cyber Tuesday after it emerged that the official websites and the media, including the presidential office website, were affected by what appears to have been a coordinated cyber attack.

While the world continues to panic about Internet safety, some of the founders of the company all have gone public with their own doubts about existing confidentiality measures. The last to speak was Louis Pouzin, the French engineer whose invention of the computer network Cyclades him one of five men makes with Sir Tim Berners-Lee and three American developers, who are credited with the creation of 'Internet.

Speaking at the World newspaper Pouzin reflects that "the Internet was designed without security measures ... the idea of ​​being used by scammers was marginal. We used to say, "We will deal later. 'He never seemed to be urgent. " Their discovery has opened so many amazing opportunities it is not hard to see why everyone is so passionate, but unfortunately, decades down the line of original inventions, we will certainly feel the effects of the lack of regulation.

comments Pouzin safety echo those recently by Sir Tim Berners-Lee when he and the other gentlemen received the Queen Elizabeth for engineering at Buckingham Palace last month (photo ). Berners-Lee released the famous words: "This is for everybody" during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics and said when the fundamental principle of the Internet as "an open thing, he did not was something that could be controlled by any government "

he repeats this ethos when asked about the Edward Snowden claims surrounding the Internet monitoring '. when you do something universal ... it can be used for good things or bad things ... we just have to make sure that it is not undermined by large companies or governments trying of use and obtain total control. "

The two men have remained active in the campaign to protect their creation come under the monopoly of a nation or a particular company. Given the technology increasingly complex used by both "good" and "bad" kind, we will hope that the founders of the Internet still have what it takes to keep their invention on the idealistic track, began.

If you have concerns about online security in a way that you can use technology to help protect your privacy rather than expose it through the use of a VPN service. A VPN acts as an extra defensive layer to help keep your secure connection when using the Internet.

Indian researcher Arul Kumar has discovered a security flaw that allowed hackers to remove any image of the profile of a Facebook user without the knowledge or consent of the user.

the flaw has been rated as "critical" and worked operator support Dashboard Facebook, which is used to send pictures of requests to the moving company. These reports are usually to be seen by employees of Facebook or sent directly to the owner of the image with an automatically-generated link to delete the photo. When clicked by the user, the target image is deleted.

The new bug revealed that when sending those images, two parameters were left open and vulnerable. If a hacker changed owners and photo_id PROFILE_ID, they were able to bypass any user interaction and simply delete link sent to their own personal inbox instead.

The owner ID profile can be found with a simple search with Facebook Graph, and each image contains fbid value that can be found in a Facebook URL. Once the photo ID was pinned, two accounts of Facebook users can then be inserted in order to receive the necessary link to delete the image, with one person acting as the sender and the other as a receiver.

Kumar warned that the photo could be taken to a page or user, including shared and labeled images, pictures of groups and pages and images of proposed positions. The researcher has since received a bonus of $ 12,500 through the Bug Bounty program Facebook and the company said that the error has been corrected.

If you are concerned about the security of your personal data, then a VPN service can offer you added peace of mind when surfing the web. A VPN allows your computer an extra layer of protection when you use the Internet, helping to ensure that the information stored on your device stays securely defended against external forces trying to access it.

Yahoo in trouble more email addresses 'recycled'

Back in June we reported that Yahoo was set to recycle and release inactive email addresses for public use. Many groups at the time predicted potential privacy issues, so it might not come as a surprise that the new owners of these addresses now receive emails intended for previous users. Professional Information Security Tom Jenkins, who took over an old account, said he now knows the name of the former owner, address, phone number and where their child attends school. Experts privacy urging Yahoo to take action before the personal information falls into the wrong hands.

Kaspersky Lab discovered the spying campaign

Kaspersky Lab discovered a group of hackers for hire called Icefog that have targeted military contractors and government institutions . Victims of the group were mainly in Japan and South Korea, but Kaspersky warned that it seems likely that they will soon hit a US company. The group is classified as an advanced persistent threat (APT a) but with a difference. Hackers go for high-profile victims and rely on a long-term plan that allows them to fly thousands of terabytes of data. Kaspersky has identified hundreds of individual victims, and while some Windows users dozens were affected more than 350 were using Mac OS X. Alarmingly, the "hit and run" refers to the technique many victims do not even know they were affected.

[law California will under 18 to make websites delete personal messages

A new California law will under 18 the authority to site Web remove their personal information. It will cover the content generated by the individual adolescent, such as photos, and should enter into force in 2015. However, anything created and published by others will not be included, and companies will not have to remove information from their servers. Some groups have argued that the law could confuse Internet companies and get them to deny access of minors to their sites in order to avoid a legal scandal. Nevertheless, the Common Sense Media charity aimed at protecting children using the web, welcomed this decision as a positive step.

Most VPN users works on PCs with Microsoft Windows - which is ok, but from 'not necessarily a security point -of-view the best option. That's why you might want to consider switching to a different operating system, such as Linux.

Not only will you be completely affected by one of the many security holes and vulnerabilities in Windows, you will also use a free system and open-source operating where thousands of experts are constantly working to provide safe and easy way to use your PC -. without relying on Microsoft

If you are not familiar with Linux, you've never used before, and you've been working on Windows for many years, you might consider Linux too technical, too complicated and can only be used for real geeks. However this is not the case anymore

There is only "one" Linux. there are countless so-called "distributions", which differ in many aspects. There are distributions specially designed for multimedia use, distributions specially designed for geeks, for office workers, for the players, for everything. The Web offers help you to make your decision, for example, tests show that the distribution best fits your needs: http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/[1945003~~number=plural]

For beginners, Ubuntu is a good choice. Please note that you must remove your Windows installation when you want to use Linux; you do not even need to install it as a bootable operating system on your device. If you prefer, you can even run Linux from a CD / DVD, without installing a single byte on your hard drive

This means that you can choose from :.

a) Linux installation as a bootable operating system next to Windows (so that you can choose at startup)

+ Pro: Good choice if you plan to use Linux more often than Windows

- Con: Difficult for Linux -newbies

b) Installing Linux as a virtual machine on Windows (so that Linux is basically run like any other Windows application)

+ Pro: You can run Windows and Linux simultaneously

- Con: Not as fast as a real installation, and uses more resources

c) running Linux completely from CD / DVD (so-called "live CD / DVD")

+ Pro: Good to test distributions without the need to install / configure the first

- Con: most changes / customizations are lost the next time

the simplest method is c), which also has the advantage that you can test everything without making any changes to your disk. You just need to download a live CD / DVD, burn and start the

However, if you plan to use Linux and use it regularly, we recommend trying the method b) -. Installing Windows as virtual. Machine

a good tutorial for doing this can be found here: http: //www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox

once you install a suitable Linux distribution using your favorite method of installation, you can connect to HMA! Pro VPN using different connection methods. Please refer to the "Linux - Getting Started". Article on our knowledge base for instructions

Turkey has blocked two social media sites, Twitter last week and today, YouTube.
We hide my ass! HMA continued support! Users in Turkey currently offering free VPN when the ban.

dynamic DNS hosts are a useful tool for many VPN users, but using it also makes sense without a VPN

most IP addresses are dynamic -. meaning that they change with each connection. This happens with the IP addresses of your ISP assigns you as well as the IP addresses that you are given when connecting to our VPN service.

Of course, you do not manually check before your IP to verify IP site and will know when you are not at your computer, you will not be able to do so, making it impossible to access your computer outdoors.

there are countless reasons why you may want to access your home computer from elsewhere, for example, on vacation or when visiting a friend. Perhaps to listen to music, download files or important documents accessible.

Now, unless you've verified your IP address and wrote down before leaving (assuming it has not already changed since) you will be unable to do so.

is where a dynamic DNS host comes in. It looks like a simple subdomain, such MyPC.no-ip.org and always points to your current IP address, regardless of any change in intellectual property due to connection or use of VPN. It simply allows you to access your home computer using this host name instead of its IP address. Simply connect to it.

The requirements are that you have registered a dynamic DNS host name somewhere and you have set up a dynamic DNS client either on your VPN router or your computer, which keeps updating the host name with your IP every few seconds.

This allows particular sense when using a VPN on a virtual private server (VPS) or a dedicated server when the VPN connection, you must access through the VPN IP instead of IP usual.

Many countries, such as Iran and China, control what its citizens can access and say on the Internet, and Russia now? is heading in the same direction.

in the last month, the Russian government has worked to tighten online censorship, justifying his actions by saying it will help eliminate anti-terrorist groups and websites promoting activity illegal.

Russia is vying for a greater control over what its users can say, and adopted several laws that give their all. Earlier this year, the power to block websites considered a threat to the reputation and political interests of Russia, and websites promoting illegal activities was given to the communications regulator of Russia Roskomnadzor. What is interesting is that Roskomnadzor can bring any web site down, without a court order and have already done repeatedly, closing several opposition blogs, including chess master and political activist Garry Kasparov and a number of news channels. The blocks on both sites have since been lifted.

A law passed earlier this year and the entry into force on 1 August 2014, forcing foreign companies to move their servers in Russia to handle traffic Russian, and store data for six months. But for many Internet companies like Google and social media companies like Facebook and Twitter to execute this move would be a logistical nightmare, and the cost would be enormous. According to Karen Kazaryan, an analyst with the Russian Association of Electronic Communications, it will cost about $ 0 million to build servers and $ 10 million per year to maintain them.

This means that the communications regulator, Roskomnadzor would be able to monitor and control what its citizens are saying online - of course, this also means that the Russians would think twice display their thoughts on Facebook, Twitter, forums and other social media. Self-censorship is naturally in place, and that is something Putin applaud. It remains to be seen whether foreign companies will house servers in Russia, and if not, Russia will not permit its citizens to access popular sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Google? Time will tell us.

Law Bloggers

Russia passed another law, called "Bloggers law" which also takes effect on 1 August This law means that all bloggers will be treated as a media and any blogger with over 3,000 page visits, including Twitter users with more than 3,000 followers, will have to register with the authorities. Interestingly, the equivalent law of China has a 5000 page view limit. According to Bloomberg Businessweek this means that companies like Twitter will keep the details when a user logs on and off, and to whom they send their messages. In addition, bloggers will have to publish their real name and contact details on their website. If they fail to comply with these rules, they face a hefty fine. . Human Rights Watch said "between 10 and 30 thousand rubles (US $ 280-840) for individuals and up to 300,000 rubles ($ 8,400) for legal entities Repeated violations incur higher fines - up to 50,000 rubles for individuals ($ 1,400) and up to 500,000 rubles ($ 14,000) for legal entities -. or administrative suspension of the site up to a month "

Recent talks were held between Twitter and Roskomnadzor. the result was a bit confused, with Russia saying that Twitter had agreed to block ten extremists and Twitter accounts refute this assertion. in the past, Putin called Twitter "a CIA project" and he is apparently also concerned that Russian companies will suffer in the hands of foreign companies operating in the country.

From what I can see, there is more than a matter of control and place a hold on a free and open internet - something we at HMA! not to applaud.

There is a solution!

Artyom Kozlyuk Internet watchdog Freedom independent Rublacklist.net recently told The Moscow Times "People are waking up to the fact that the government is hamfistedly regulates the Internet, and are more increasingly looking for tools to regain access to information. "

and these tools are VPN (virtual private networks). Many countries whose governments block websites such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter go round these restrictions by using a VPN.

You do not need to be a technical genius to understand what a VPN is and how to use one. Millions of people around the world, from all walks of life use in a number of ways; to bypass the geo-restricted content, access their pages government blocked to secure their data when Wi-Fi use and keep their online research, private.

When you connect to a VPN server, you are given a new IP address, allowing you to surf the net knowing your government can not spy on your online activity. Internet users from countries like China and Iran and Russia use a VPN to do just that.

We at HMA! believe that everyone has the right to express themselves and a free and open Internet is so important in the world we live in today. Taking this fundamental human right is something that we hate and actively seek to enforce.

Where there is government censorship, there is always HMA! Pro VPN And now our Summer Sale is on -.! Save a huge 56% on a 12-month subscription
