Smart move SA

From dompass to smart card this is a smart move for South Africans, well we have thank Nkosazane Dlamini Zuma for this but for me personally I would take off my hart for IT guys who are pioneers of this move. The problem every South Africans knows about our former ID was their vulnerable to duplicates and corruption they possessed. Although in most cases their duplicates were the result of owners carelessness. Some of the advantages of these smart card is that they will not be lost easy as they are bank card size. The other advantage according to Nkosazane Dlamini Zuma is that they will be able to tell in real time whether a person is a foreigner or not and what status they have, this means they will less if no bribes as  this system will not allow someone to move from one category to another.
From IT point of view this will also minimise cyber securities and net crime. As this is still a piloted program which will be test on those applying for IDs for the first time I have my all hopes on it and positive it will work. http://www.techcentral.co.za/id-smart-cards-on-the-way-for-sa/31355/

Protect your system from internet threats

For system administrators who are deeply trained about security loopholes in a computer, it is so easy to figure out if the computer is being compromised, but for normal Users who only knows how to run certain program not how program run it might be slightly difficult if not a nightmare.

These are things to consider in order to be safe

• For Windows users I think they must be family with different antivirus since they on the list of the tools that can protect your system.
• Firewall help protect both networked or standalone computer since it control inbound and outbound traffic, therefore it must be configured and running properly. Conveniently for Windows users all antivirus comes with firewall configured therefore you only needs to have activate Antivirus to be secured.
• Enabling File and Print service in a standalone computer is not required so it must disabled as so doing causes easy access to your computer from Internet users.
• Last but not least, knowing how to run applications at User level must not make think you know better and stop learning, you must have the desire to know the inside part.

How to see if you guest in your pc

Believe it or not,billions of computers around the world are just victims of being compromised every day. It does not matter whether you connect to the internet just once off or you always connected, in fact it only takes below 15 second for a good hacker to get into your system and compromise it.

 Now hire is how you will see if you have a visitor in your computer.

If you connect to internet through modem (3G on any other), well every modem has all light which shows if you connected or not. Some lights are blue and are amber, but it is unfortunate that mostly people does not understands some other meaning of these lights. It is nomarly for the modem to flash now and then, let say every 20 minites mostly if you are have your email opened because you might be receiving some mail now and then. Importantly if it flash every two minutes or less that it simple means you are sending or receiving data, well if you know you not sending or receiving anything that might signals that someone has just got into your computer and he or she sending you some data or taking some from you.

On DSL/ADSL you can see the above by looking at the right corner of your taskbar. You simple see two monitor like screens which shows network connection. Again if these two screens flash all the time with errows going up and down, well my friends you in a big trouble ance again. Now that you know how see if you being attacked now I will tell you how to protect you privacy but you have to wait because that will be on my next attitle.
