China more countries exporting electronic attacks

Study monitored the electronic attacks in the first quarter of this year confirmed that China has maintained a sitting astride on the list of countries that Chen them in the world of electronic attacks, while another study indicated that China is also currently home to about a quarter of the number of devices connected to the Internet around the world.

The first study has revealed -alta prepared by the US company Akamai specialized by cloud computing and Almtnqlh- that 34% of the electronic attacks during the first three months of this year, was coming from China.

China has maintained her lead so the countries that Chen such attacks, but with that the next attacks, including decreased compared to the fourth quarter of last year, where she was the source of 41% of cyber attacks in that period.

Indonesia and was in second place on that list, with the next ones cyber attacks has increased significantly too reached 21% in the first quarter of this year, and after that was that percentage only 0.7% during the last three months of 2012.

United States and a third was 8.3%, and Turkey 4.5%, followed by Russia with 2.7%, followed by India with 2.6%, and Taiwan 2.5%, and Brazil by 2.2%, followed by Romania by 2%, while dissolved Hong Kong tenth place in the existing 1.6%.

The study pointed out that the Asia-Pacific region is the most exporter of electronic attacks by 68%, followed by Europe with 19%, then the Americas by 13%.

The study monitored the sectors targeted by one of the most common methods of cyber attacks, a "denial of service", which cause the disabling websites and servers, and take it out of service temporarily. Attacks

The study showed that most sectors exposed to those types of cyber attacks during the first quarter of 2013 is the service sector, followed by the commercial sector, and media and entertainment services sector and technology sector and finally the public sector.
Internet connection
In another study of the company "fluorescent" Research on the use of smart phones in China, found that China currently has 24% of the number of devices connected to the Internet around the world, including more than 261 million smartphone and Tablet computer.

The study, which was published yesterday and targeted help developers on the fast-growing Chinese market study, the largest in China currently gaming applications market is, where he is serving users of the operating system "Android" from Google 56% of their time on the gaming company, while serving users "either or system S "of Apple's 47% of their time.

The report pointed out that the mobile devices operating operating system "Android" controls 65% of the Chinese market, including 15% to Samsung of South Korea and 6% of the company Xsawma Chinese, while comes Apple's operating system "EOS" devices in second place with 35%.

Internet hackers geniuses or criminals?

Rush FBI agents raided the US one of the houses on the outskirts of the city of Seattle, only to find that the offender is a teenager in the eleventh-old was able to penetrate the 1,500 companies on Wall Street to be sentenced to deprivation of computers and the Internet until it reaches 18.
This introduction is for hackers who produced the film in 1995, one of the classic films that talk about hacker community as it is part of the stereotype that enshrined in a lot of movies and news that talk about the subject.
Thanks to the many similar stories entrenched stereotype of the hacker that either has the intelligence and technical knowledge teenager which enables it to penetrate the heavily fortified sites or access to information, or is an employee in one of the technical institutions suffers from paranoid who shall work virus in retaliation for his company or community and often suffer from a psychological problems.
But the reality of hackers skips this image requires a deeper understanding of what exceeds the partial meaning of the word in dictionaries as someone expert in technology have access to confidential information without permission, what is the origin of the hacker?

The origin of hacker
His first title Hacker -walta not mean English pieces strongly overcome on- or a programmer or developer, and so were not related to computers, this title launched by the club "model railway," the US, which was established in 1946 and included a group of technicians in all areas, and it was called who has the ability to invent new ways to get results or innovative solutions to overcome the difficulties in the field of railways.

And passed the word march on its way to become a symbol of the illegal acts and transmitted to the computer world for long stages of the most important of the so-called exploring Phone (Phone Phreaking), a description of the activities of people studying and experimenting and developing communication systems and the most famous "Captain Crunch", a hacker John Draper inventor of the first word processor Use the Apple computers in 1978.

At the beginning of the seventies personal computers were not available, but there was a home phones and networks of public contact and moved here the word hacker to launch on who can work on these systems and explore and learn its secrets.
In March 1975, young amateur and computer technology and electronics combine in a bar in San Francisco, California, for the goal of the discussion of control and processing units microcomputer "microprocessor" personal computer industry, which became known as the "Homebrew Computer Clubhouse," which evolved later to become the Silicon Valley.

The members of this club, George Morrow inventor carrier "S -100" in 1974, used in computer Altair 8800, the first personal computer miniature, Adam Osborne, inventor of the first personal computer laptop commercially available in 1981, and John Draper in addition to the founders of Apple's Steve Jobs and Steve Company Wozniak.

It was not for these inventors personal computers, but they are considered indigenous hackers who have made great works in the fields of technology and the development of computers, they are built from the operating systems they invented the idea of the Internet.

Study: Internet browsers weak security

A study published by the Foundation "The feed Labs" (NSS Labs) specialized in the field of information security research, the weakness of the security tools provided by Internet browsers in order to protect the user's privacy by.

The study stated that the best tools that have been developed in this regard is "no trace" property or what is known as "Do Not Track", and that when activated in the browser to prevent Internet sites visited by the user, as well as advertisers, to collect information about the user's concerns over what known files cookies, in order to display ads against him, what contributes to enhance the user's privacy while browsing.

It is noteworthy that the most famous Internet browsers, namely: Internet Explorer and Firefox, Chrome, and Safari was added property "no trace" to their own browsers, but should this feature activation in these browsers except "Internet Explorer" browser in which this feature is enabled in automatically when the installation, according to the study.

And was linked to low enthusiasm developer of Internet browsers support Mtcefhatha more tools that protect privacy to the visions of these companies and its own philosophy with respect to its users data, also confirmed that "no trace property" remains the tool is effective for the protection of privacy, where advertisers can ignore it and get the data important to them from other sources.
With regard to the files of cookies, the study reported that Safari and Internet Explorer browsers offer the possibility of blocked automatically, while Chrome and Firefox browsers do not automatically do this property.

In conclusion, the study confirm that the Internet Explorer web browser is "the best among the bad guys" in the field of protecting the privacy of its users, which provides features "no trace" and block cookies automatically unless the user wishes otherwise.

Internet hackers .. hackers owners hats

The term "hacker" (Internet pirate) to describe a person with deep computers and networks of knowledge, which has a high skill in programming languages and operating systems so that it can skillfully exploit vulnerabilities in any computer network to penetrate, and the word is originally carrying a positive meaning it into a negative meaning the focus of the media now.
The hackers usually divides into two parts: the pirates moralists (white hats) and the pirates criminals (black hats) and add them sometimes third section are the owners of the gray hats.
Hats eggs
They are pirates who are working in government institutions and companies information or even security alone to discover the software and hardware, networks gaps, and reporting in order to fill them and prevent exploitation by hackers, criminals.
Figure in the world of this kind and months is a hacker Kevin Mitnick, who considered the US Department of Justice on what "more criminal computer is required in the history of the United States" and was arrested and jailed more than once before it turns into an ethical hacker and become a consultant and speaker-year-old in Computer Security and Director of the Company "Mitnick security Consulting."

There are pirate Adrian Lamo (known as the hacker homeless) which was used cafes, libraries and Internet cafes places to implement Achteraqath to websites of famous companies such as The New York Times, Microsoft and Yahoo, but he finally turned to the moral Hacker and works as a consultant computer security and helped in the delivery of the US military authorities Bradley Manning, accused of being Video source of the leak air raid on Baghdad to the site of the famous Wikileaks publication of secret documents in July 2007.
It pirate eggs also "Steve Wozniak," co-founder of the famous Apple Inc., and Linus Torvalds developed an open-source operating system "Linux", and Tim Berners-Lee the creative mind behind the World Wide Web development, and Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks.
Black hats
They are a common type that focus on typical media, and penetrate computer security for personal gain, such as the theft of credit or personal data card data in order to sell them, or even for their own pleasure, such as making robots software (botnet) can be used to launch denial attacks Distributed Service against certain websites.

Among the most famous of these British hacker Gary McKinnon, accused greater penetration operations against the United States government computer networks of computers, including the Army, Air Force and Navy and the Department of Aviation and Space Systems implementation (NASA) and cause damage to systems army estimated Besbamaip thousand dollars.
In addition to McKinnon, there's Jonathan James (known as Komred), which broke in a 15-year-old network of NASA and the Pentagon.
And George Hotz, who knows being infiltrated platform Sony Playstation 3 Games in 2011. Kevin Paulson (known as Dark Dante), one of the pirates eighties with hats blacks, and gained a reputation that to penetrate the phone lines to a radio station in Los Angeles to win the prize was a Porsche 911 new from within other awards.
There Albert Gonzalez, who was accused of being the mastermind in the largest theft of ATM cards and credit history, where it is believed that he and his group of pirates sold during the period from 2005 to 2007, more than 170 million ATM cards and credit card numbers.

And Russian President Vladimir Levin, who managed in 1994, using the laptop in his apartment in St. Petersburg from the conversion of ten million dollars from customer accounts at the bank, "Citibank" to personal accounts around the world, after the arrest of the stolen money has been restored with the exception of four hundred thousand dollars.
There is Robert Tappan Morris, who was on the second of November 1988 computer worm (malicious software) disrupted the Internet and about a dozen more than six thousand computer system, and estimated the value of financial losses to the process by about $ 15 million.
Gray hats
They are the pirates who do legal work sometimes, or security with the help of as dictating to them their conscience sometimes, or mischievous breach at other times, they are so combination of pirates with hats and white with hats blacks, and they usually do not penetrate malicious purposes or for personal interest, but also to increase their expertise in penetration and the discovery of security vulnerabilities.

Computer network security tips and suggestions ..

Growing risks arising from the use of the Internet quickly commensurate with the increased reliability and the related computer networks, and despite the fact that the researchers security assert that there is no "magic formula" to protect the data on the Internet, but there are still some actions that can contribute to the protection of networks connected out.

And gave Richard Danzig, former vice president of the company, "a Rand" and the Minister of the US Navy, proposals sees it contributes to prevent attackers from achieving significant breakthroughs security systems on the Internet networks, including the isolation of computers and networks, sensitive service, and reduce reliance on digital systems and gradually return to analog systems by blending the two systems together and use systems that require human intervention to activate it.

He also suggested -khalal debate interview with the New York University on the tenth of this Alchehr- that the US government impose further restrictions on users, something began to apply some government agencies such as the US Agency for National Security, which passed a new law requiring the introduction of my crossing by two employees to download any file, so as to prevent any possible leak, especially after the leaks "Edward Snowden" famous.

Danzig and sees the need to share US agencies and private companies, their statements about the potential dangers, and that the US government was in talks with Russia and China to hold cooperation agreements in order to prevent any attacks may target infrastructure, such as airports and power plants.

To protect important data, other experts suggests stripping container systems that data from some non-important advantage that can be used to penetrate the system, similar to the print properties that can be penetrating follow all the documents that have been printed, or isolating these sensitive for the Internet and local networks systems.

With the gradual spread of the Internet of Things and the increasing reliance on domestic equipment connected to the Internet, experts fear that enable attackers from accessing home networks to target users in their homes, because those networks contain many security vulnerabilities that are difficult to repair, according to the official Internet Security and Communications Office US Agency for National Security, Andy Ozmint.

To protect such users, the director and founder of the company "to Angner Communications" German, Ralph Langner advised, the need to find ways to protect home appliances connected to the Internet, through the knowledge of malware capable of targeting these devices and take the necessary action.

As a professor of engineering and computer science at the University of California, sees that the user may spend a long time, looking for risks and vulnerabilities that can hackers exploited in the network while the optimal solution for protection lies in the knowledge of the parties that might want to attack him, which helps predict the strike and objectives .

Aviation noise-threatening brain clots

Linked the recent German study of the incidence of stroke and near airports and residential exposure to aircraft noise.

According to an extensive study carried out by the German doctor Eberhard Graiser, proved the increasing incidence of this serious disease in the areas surrounding airports.

Graiser and analyzed in the study data more than a million people live in areas near the Cologne airport and were treated in German hospitals to insurance expense.

According to the study, the women who are over the age of 40 years and are subject to noise during the day at least strength 60 Dazepl exposed twice for heart disease and circulatory system are forcing them to undergo treatment at the hospital, when compared to women in remote areas for airports.

The men who live near airports and so the risk of contracting such diseases ratio to 69%.

Study author also stressed that the risk of breast cancer and leukemia increases with relatives of women compared Boaqranhen airports. Judging by the residents of the nearby areas of airports other than the area that study included patients and allow the study data.

Graiser have predicted that around Berlin Airport hospitals Hunaveld President to receive an additional 5,000 patients with heart disease and circulatory system after ten years of the planned expansion of the airport in 1350, including a man and a woman injured.

Peel tomatoes reduce the risk of heart attack

Scientists argue that the pill is one of the chemical found in tomato peel can reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks, and slow the worsening of cancer.
The pill called "Oteronon" contain chemical lycopene showing previously unknown it helps to open clogged arteries, which is believed to be one of the major health benefits of the diet followed the countries of the Mediterranean basin.

The more tests now proved that physical therapy to make the blood vessels of patients are also more efficient, and enhanced the flow of blood and Lin arteries hardened with age.

Researchers believe that the new pill has been able to limit the damage caused by heart disease, despite the need for further studies to determine whether the positive signs useful in reducing strokes and heart attacks.

This new pill use lycopene, which has been modified to be her blood is easier than the natural form found tomatoes absorption.

Preliminary results of the experiment, which was given the pill for 36 heart patients and 36 cases under the supervision of health, at a meeting of the American Heart Association has provided.

The unit clinical University of Cambridge experiments director Ian Wilkinson, "We believe that these results are a good and very important news to a large extent, but we need more tests to find out whether they will translate into heart attacks and stroke, and is associated with less."

"
This new pill use lycopene, which has been modified to be her blood is easier than the natural form found tomatoes absorption
"
The Daily Telegraph
He added Peter Kirkpatrick, medical adviser to the company, "Kamntra" which developed the pill Oteronon that "it is premature to reach any definitive conclusions, but the results of this experiment is much better than anything that can be had we looked for."

Referred to the results of the two trials, which Astgrgueta months showed that the pill helped cells known lining, a layer of cells that line the interior cavities of the heart and blood vessels Allimpha, to work better.

The cells become more sensitive to mono nitrogen dioxide, a chemical compound, a gas that enhances the flow of blood in a healthy person making the blood vessels expand during exercise and generally the blood vessels more flexible for patients became 50%.

Developers Scientists hope the new drug in pill can be used as a substitute for statins, cholesterol reducers, for patients who can not take statins, and believe it may have broader health benefits.

Professor of Analytical Science for primary care at the University of Birmingham, UK, David Fitzmaurice said that "if the amendment this would be the lycopene real impact on the function of membrane endothelial, and then it can be practically beneficial impact on all inflammatory disease, including diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes."

He added, "It's all speculative at this stage, but also modified lycopene may actually slow down the inflammation associated with cancer growth."

He said the medical assistant director of the British Heart Foundation charity "with that this small study showed that lycopene improved blood flow in people who suffer from heart disease, a long way to prove that eating lycopene can improve results when suffering from heart disease."

He added Mike Knupton "We still say that the best way to get the benefits of the Mediterranean diet is to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables."
