Q&A: Google Privacy Facts and Tips SAN FRANCISCO — If you're amazed — and maybe even a little alarmed — about how much Google seems to know about you, brace yourself. Beginning Thursday, Google will operate under a streamlined privacy policy that enables the Internet's most powerful company to dig even deeper into the lives of its more than 1 billion users. Google says the changes will make it easier for consumers to understand how it collects personal information, and allow the company to create more helpful and compelling services. Critics, including most of the country's state attorneys general and a top regulator in Europe, argue that Google is trampling on people's privacy rights in its relentless drive to sell more ads.

HTTPS and Tor: Working Together to Protect Your Privacy and Security Online This week EFF released a new version its HTTPS Everywhere extension for the Firefox browser and debuted a beta version of the extension for Chrome. EFF frequently recommends that Internet users who are concerned about protecting their anonymity and security online use HTTPS Everywhere, which encrypts your communications with many websites, in conjunction with Tor, which helps to protect your anonymity online. But the best security comes from being an informed user who understands how these tools work together to protect your privacy against potential eavesdroppers. Whenever you read your email, or update your Facebook page, or check your bank statement, there are dozens of points at which potential adversaries can intercept your Internet traffic. By using Tor to anonymize your traffic and HTTPS to encrypt it, you gain considerable protection, most notably against eavesdroppers on your wifi network and eavesdroppers on the network between you and the site you are accessing.

Veritate et Virtute: Online Safety: Let us be safe, at home, onl This is a continuation of the expansion on the daily tweets I shared via my Twitter account, @BurgessCT, during National CyberSecurity Awareness Month (#NCSAM - October 2009). If you’re reading this blog, you and your family are connected to the internet; your entrée to the internet is via a laptop, desktop PC, smart-phone, or other such devices and you have one, two maybe three separate service providers. Your connected devices allow you and your family the opportunity to literally bring the world to your doorstep. And we want the world to come to our door via the internet – as the internet brings to us knowledge, enhances our ability to communicate, provides us opportunities to share and collaborate with others and of course enables us to conduct commerce and be entertained. So let’s begin to close those virtual doors and keep out the uninvited. In closing, the online world enabled by the internet is wondrous place. Thank you for your time.
Block Chinese and Korean IP Addresses From Apache Based Servers with .htaccess Blocklist Compiled by Wizcrafts Computer Services (see website links in footer) We publish additional .htaccess blocklists to block spammers, scammers, hackers and exploited servers. See our other .htaccess blocklists: Exploited Servers Blocklist | Nigerian Blocklist | Russian Blocklist | South American Blocklist These IP blocklists are also available in iptables format, for use in Linux based firewalls. If you are just trying to block scams and spam from your email inbox, read this section. Apache web servers use a special access control file named .htaccess, which uses a combination of directives to allow or deny access to files or folders on the server. If you are running an Apache Server based website or forum that is plagued by Chinese or Korean spammers, or exploiters, adding this DENY FROM list to your .htaccess file, in the web-root of your server, will block access to any person (or spam server) covered by a CIDR in this list.

This year, why not make a resolution to protect your data privacy with one of the most powerful tools available? Commit to full disk encryption on each of your computers. Many of us now have private information on our computers: personal records, business data, e-mails, web history, or information we have about our friends, family, or colleagues. Encryption is a great way to ensure that your data will remain safe when you travel or if your laptop is lost or stolen. Best of all, it's free. Here's some basic info about full disk encryption. Full disk encryption uses mathematical techniques to scramble data so it is unintelligible without the right key. Without encryption, forensic software can easily be used to bypass an account password and read all the files on your computer.

NetFamilyNews S.F. team wins paper shredder puzzle prize To most people, 10,000 slivers of shredded paper are as good as trash. To three coders in San Francisco, they're a challenge - especially when the jumbled mass of paper once made up five classified government documents. The three were not hackers trying to steal state secrets, but participants in a contest run by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the government group that funds high-tech military research. In October, DARPA offered $50,000 to the first group to piece together the shredded documents or the one that made the most progress by Dec. 4. "I figured I know enough really damn good programmers that I could get a few people together and we might be able to win it," said Otávio Good, the entrepreneur behind the iPhone app Word Lens, which translates foreign-language text as it's viewed through the phone's camera. "I knew there would be crazy people to try to do it all manually and crazy people to try to automate the whole process," Good said.
