How has the web been a part of your life ?

Inspired by the real story of G. Rajendran, an artist from Tamil Nadu (Southern India) who used the web to bring the dying art of "Tanjore" paintings back to life and became a successful businessman in the process. The art is supposed to have originated in 1600 A.D and is an important part of the local social and cultural heritage.

6.4m LinkedIn passwords stolen

The professional social network LinkedIn said Wednesday it was probing a possible data breach after reports said more than 6.4 million passwords were stolen.

 "Our team is currently looking into reports of stolen passwords. Stay tuned for more," the company said in a Twitter message.

Several security researchers reported the breach posted on a Russian hacker forum.
Graham Cluley of the British security said the posting "does contain, at least in part, LinkedIn passwords."

"Although the data which has been released so far does not include associated email addresses, it is reasonable to assume that such information may be in the hands of the criminals," Cluley said in a blog post.

As a result, Cluley said, "it would seem sensible to suggest to all LinkedIn users that they change their passwords as soon as possible as a precautionary step."

He said users should ensure the password you use is not used on any other websites, and hard to crack.

"If you were using the same passwords on other websites -- make sure to change them too. And never again use the same password on multiple websites," he said.

Google warns users of internet shutdown on July 9

WASHINGTON: Search giant Google has issued a warring to its millions of users that they could lose the ability to connect to the internet in July due to a computer virus. 

 

The problem began when international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control of infected computers around the world.

In a highly unusual response, the FBI set up a safety net months ago using government computers to prevent Internet disruptions for those infected users, but that system will be shut down on July 9, killing connections for those people

The FBI has run a campaign for months, encouraging people to visit a website that will inform them whether they are infected and explain how to fix the problem.

After July 9, infected users won't be able to connect to the internet.

According to Fox News, Google has now planned to throw its weight into the awareness campaign.

The site will be rolling out alerts to users via a special message that will appear at the top of the Google search results page for users with affected computers, CNET reported.

"We believe directly messaging affected users on a trusted site and in their preferred language will produce the best possible results," wrote Google security engineer Damian Menscher in a post on the firm's blog

"If more devices are cleaned and steps are taken to better secure the machines against further abuse, the notification effort will be well worth it," he added

According to the report, the challenge, and the reason for the awareness campaigns is the fact that most victims don't even know their computers have been infected, although the malicious software probably has slowed their web surfing and disabled their anti-virus software, making their machines more vulnerable to other problems.
