AVG’s research chief Roger Thompson said that LinkScanner users had reported "rogue spyware attacks" from a large number of these profiles. He postulated that the fake profiles were created automatically, which would indicate that someone, somehow has figured out a way around the ReCaptchas used to protect Facebook from bot-created content.

Here are a few screenshots Thompson posted. Please note that all the fake profiles he reported showed the same main image:

"Facebook will deactivate all these accounts as quickly as they find them, but it can’t be an easy thing for them to find."

Yahoo Meme,

How Yahoo Meme works: you create an account and it starts you off with an empty blog that you can fill with text, images, videos, music or a mixture of those things. All you can add to your blog – apart from the content – is a title, a 100-character description and an avatar. You can also create a comment thread underneath the content you post, which was a feature that was missing when we reviewed Yahoo Meme previously.

Like Twitter and Tumblr, you can search other people’s public accounts and follow them, with updates from these users appearing in your stream. You can also ‘Repost’ anyone’s entry, similar to the ‘Reblog’ feature that’s integrated into Tumblr. But the micro-blogging service seems lacking in its features and its potential to surpass its competitors.

Today, industries are based on innovations. Similarly Cellular companies, like any other industry, require innovations and ideas to increase there subscribers’ base and net profits. Other than basic telephony services, they  keep on attracting new customers by evolving ideas that are unique in there own way, which are new and never used before.

Well as a part of Pro Pakistani I am feeling pleasure to contribute my share for the Telecom companies, by floating my this idea – and I’m already loving it. Now lets come to the point.

What is Pic SIM?

The idea is called ‘Pic SIM’. Sounds weird but let me explain; how about a custom SIM card having your picture and name on it? So, here is my idea for the global telecom industry. A custom SIM designed for customers having there desired picture and name (or any text) on it.

By the way, no company ever tried to get revenue through SIM cards’ branding. Customers may just go to the Customer Care Center of their cellular company, select from default pictures or give them there own picture (on any storage media, or an email service to give picture), give them the text or name to write. And in a day or two get there custom sim cards.

People could be allowed to buy usual simple SIM cards at normal rates, or custom SIM cards at premium rates. Pictures can be printed on the front side, where usually the company logo is printed, while on the back side usual chip could be fitted with the SIM’s pin number. Below pictures will help you to understand the idea. These would be “The First Pic Sim Cards designed ever”. Take a look:

Any graphic, picture any background can be selected.

See the profit!

People would love to get these custom SIM cards with pictures of there loved ones. Just imagine a husband gifts her wife a custom SIM card with the picture of their anniversary, a lover can say ‘love you’ by gifting a custom SIM to his love.

Cellular companies can start making SIM cards for special occasions. Like SIM cards for the independence days, valentines day, religious festivals etc with special picture/graphics on it.

May be this becomes the next biggest gift item. I personally would love to gift it to my friends because it is cheap, I can get any picture printed on it and it’s useful too. So what can be better than this?

And lastly, in a scenario like Pakistan, where we have multiple SIMs, and of same company too… printing numbers on this SIM wont be a surprising idea too.

This can be handy as well, specifically, when there is no balance and you try to figure out the number of a lost SIM card that you find after months.

Let’s wait and see how soon this idea gets implemented by any company. It can be Vodafone, T mobile or our very own Warid, Zong, Mobilink, Telenor etc. Share your thoughts that would love a service like this?

Additionally one minor security-related bug was fixed With this release. The development team has also included the urdu version of Administration Panel.

Due to the different codebase in phpBB3, these are a lot bigger and a lot more complicated than they ever were in phpBB2 – also the reason why the team has introduced the automatic update package and automatic updater in phpBB, which is able to handle modded boards too by merging differences. Naseer does not recommend the use of the code changes tutorial – those are meant for professional users and support teams to help assist users having problems while updating.

An Ethical Hacker is an expert, which are normally hired by corporations to attempt to retrieve their network and computer systems the same way a hacker would. Ethical Hackers use the same techniques and tactics as those used by illegal hackers to breach corporate security systems. Resultantly, these ethical hackers figure out those breaches and security flaws with-in information systems and enhances company’s ability to prevent an intrusion before it ever occurs.

A company can’t know if their security system is solid unless they test it. It’s hard, though, for a company’s IT team to thoroughly ring out the system. Try as they might, the techs can’t go at the system with all the malicious or mischievous motives of a true illegal hacker. To thoroughly uncover vulnerabilities, the theory goes; you must examine your security system through the eyes of an illegal hacker.

It is matter of fact that hacking is taught at certain institutes, in order to train IT professionals to become enough competitive to meet in-practice hacking techniques.

KalSoft Academy, Karachi has announced its Certified Ethical Hacking & CSP course in Pakistan and they have successfully completed their first batch a month ago. We all know that KalSoft Academy is a sister concern company of KalPoint and they are MicroSoft Golden Certified Partners on Windows Platform. They have started their CEH – Certified Ethical Hacker and CSP – Certified Secure Programmer in Nov 2008 from ECCouncil.

Do we really need the Ethical Hackers in Pakistan? The answer is YES WE DO!

The reason is growing IT and internet culture in Pakistan, along with the rapid increment in number of multinational and national organizations including banking sector going online. It’s obvious that Pakistan will be a big market for hackers in coming days, which suggests that we must train Ethical Hackers to get our systems flawless.

Besides of training, we should make any organization or department that can aware the business sector/tycoons and think tanks about the future of Information Technology and its implementation in Pakistan.

But when we come to any Linux/Unix platform, there is no recognized institute except Ora-Tech in Pakistan; same is the case if you want to learn PHP language.

The need of the hour is to bring in technical institutes for professional studies of technical acadamics to meet our technical requrments, which can be latter on used to serve international markets as well.
