Because nobody wants to compromise the integrity of their network by having some hacker "borrow" your bandwidth or gain access and start snooping around you need to lock down your network. Fortunately, encryption is built into wireless technology; it's simply a matter knowing how to turn it on.Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA) The good news is that wireless technology does have pre-built security but the bad news is there's a flaw in that security. The problem lies in the fact that it's been built upon two completely incompatible standards with the result being that it's a pain in the "you know what" to set up a whole network to use encryption.Like most new technologies...

One of the hottest computer topics that attract public interest is privacy. The ease and efficiency with which computers and internet are used to gather, store, search, compare, retrieve and share personal information make computer technology especially threatening to anyone who wishes to keep various kinds of "sensitive" information out of the public domain or out of the hands of those who are perceived as potential threats. During the past decade, commercialization and rapid growth of the internet; the rise of the world-wide-web; increasing "user-friendliness" and processing power of computers; and decreasing costs of computer technology have led to new privacy issues.Many people have been tricked...

There is nothing wrong with taking less than adequate measures to prevent a bigger damage to anything you treasure if you have financial or other constraints, as long as this is done temporarily over a short time. Similar reasoning applies when it comes to computer security threats.Unfortunately some (if not most) computer users tend to forget this. They search on the internet for free computer security software which they dump into their computers and hope for the best. Most of the free software developers consistently forget to inform the downloaders of the inadequacies of their software - and they are many and significant!A simple search for free anti-spyware programs on any search engine...

The following is adapted by an article in entitled, 2004: Year of the Cyber-Crime Pandemic. Although written in 2004, the epidemic appears to be getting worst, not better. But wait a minute! Notice I said, "appears to be getting worst". On the surface, it seems like the epidemic has become a pandemic. While cybercrime might have increased so, too, has online security to combat it. Although cybercriminals might be a step or two ahead of authorities, they don't stay there long. As soon as authorities close in on them, they shut down operation and move on. In a way that's a small victory. The small battles may be won by the authorities and experts, but for them the war against cybercrime and...

Since the first caveman figured out how to tie a sharp rock to the end of a sturdy stick with a piece of vine, and hack off slabs of mastodon meat with it for fire roasting, storytelling has been the way knowledge has been passed from one person to another.Around the campfire blaze, the tribal members would gather, the little children gazing cautiously out from behind their parents, their eyes shining wide like silver dollars, listening...

The 1960's witnessed the advent of information technology in Ethiopia, when the mainframe computers were introduced for the first time in Africa. Despite being installed in the important sectors of military, defense, finance, telecom, electricity & power, and railways, the mainframes had no interactive boundaries within the sector. Later, microcomputers spread widely in the country either by direct purchase or through donor development aid. Like its predecessor, the initial use of microcomputers was characterized by inadequate literacy and patchy understanding of the technology by potential users. A centralized approach to building information and communication technologies in Ethiopia was first...
