About "Security Threats of the Future" topic:

Security threats are growing in size, scope and sophistication. Spam, phishing, unlawful entry, espionage, identity theft, financial theft, extortion, and denial of service top the list of cyber crimes that are common today and will be common tomorrow. But in the future, the mechanisms used to carry out such attacks will move away from being primarily PC-centric and will expand into other technologies. Today, the majority of cyber criminals target PC users, but we can expect more attackers to branch out to other areas of technology during the coming years as those technologies become more widely adopted.

Let us discuss here potential Security Threats of Future...

This is really a serious issue. We must be very careful in handling private information through the emails. The email providers must come up with more security for the users.

Security is a huge part of the job for most IT administrators. We’re always striving to protect our organizations from the latest barrage of viruses, worms, and other malware. With 2009 over, what types of threats could we face in the year ahead? The recent 2010 Threat Predictions report from McAfee ( News - Alert ) pegs a few different areas to watch out for in 2010.     Social networks will be one key breeding ground for cyber attacks, says McAfee. As sites like Twitter and Facebook ( News - Alert ) continue to grow in popularity, especially among the business crowd, cyber crooks will increasingly employ their usual bag of tricks to try to ensnare users.   A site like Facebook can be espe...

Security experts have discovered the biggest series of cyber attacks to date, involving the infiltration of the networks of 72 organizations including the United Nations, governments and companies around the world. The long list of victims in the five-year campaign include the governments of the United States, Taiwan, India, South Korea, Vietnam and Canada; the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN); the International Olympic Committee (IOC); the World Anti-Doping Agency; and an array of companies, from defense contractors to high-tech enterprises. "What is happening to all this data ... is still largely an open question. However, if even a fraction of it is used to build better competing products or beat a competitor at a key negotiation (due to having stolen the other team's playbook), the loss represents a massive economic threat." Jim Lewis, a cyber expert with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, was briefed on the discovery by McAfee. He said it was...

First an interesting fact : Youtube,before it became so famous video sharing platform was actually a dating site! When we post videos on youtube some of them are a bit shaky and give the viewers a hard time. Youtube has found an answer to this and now they can fix it for us. The article I read about this goes something like this : I've never heard of diseases called "shaky-camera-itis" or "augmented-darkness-levels” before, but apparently they affect (and infect ) many YouTube videos. Fortunately the video-hosting service now offers an automated tool which'll easily rid clips of those pesky issues. According to John Gregg, a YouTube software engineer, the feature is part of the YouTube Video Editor tool. It's there to detect shaky or dark videos and it'll automatically offer to fix things for you: When you upload a video that could use a fixup, you’ll see a notification bar on the Upload page and in your Video Manager. Click the button to fix it, and you’ll see a side by side...
