Hackers - lighthouses of our time by Milota Sidorova

No matter what, you are never safe using internet site. No matter what security certificate is in your pc or browser the information coming out from the source is always checked. Let's take the most simple email service – all emails go through filters marking suspicious words, terms and phrases. If it happens to be more or these words in your email, it can be marked and folded as suspicious and you can be monitored from then on. A ficiton?Better would be.This is the usual routine in China. For instance, Chinese browsers prevent from receiving foreign emails, emails with suspicious content. But we don't have to go that far. One can hear about hacking attack almost regu! larly. Many times, hackers who seem to fall into two or three groups of people just want to point to the fact, most of the services, from social networks down to internet-banking have not even average security level. So it is like anti-campaign to providers of services, getting customers with no relevant guarantee of the content. So it happened to VISA credit cards, to some airports, some banks, national security systems and social networks. This was the last case of French hacker called “Hacker Croll” for attacking Twitter site, getting into login codes and passwords and profiles of Twitter users. Hacker Croll got into the spot in July 2009 for stealing more than 310 pages of documents from technology blogs (TechCrunch, Korbemn). He succeeded to get the vulnerable information for a reality TV game, offices floor plans, food preference of Twitter employees. He got further by releasing secure information about financial projections of company's profitability. 25-! years old man was arrested in Clermont-Ferrand and was release! d under condition to appear on the trial in June. The motive of his action was simple – hacking for staying alive. Some people go to school, some do business and feel pretty alive. Some are hacking. Apart from the damage they do, they provide the best proof of the malfunction of the system we are forced to trust.You are never safe browsing the internet. Take it for guaranteed.
