Online Networking Platforms Make Their Liabilities Clear In First Russia Hearing

In a Capitol Hill hearing, legal advisors from Facebook, Google and Twitter affirmed under promise about Russian control of their stages amid the 2016 decision. The legal advisors admitted their organizations' weaknesses, guaranteed settles, and told representatives they were taking the issue amazingly, to a great degree genuinely. 

Be that as it may, while conveying these announcements, they accomplished something different considerably more basic: they clarified how vulnerable their organizations are to future assaults on US majority rules system. 

All through the hearing, the organizations attempted to induce legislators that they could viably screen stages of their size. Facebook was pounded by Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy, a green bean Republican, in a progression of inquiries regarding whether it can viably screen the 5 million publicists burning through cash on the stage every month. 

"I'm endeavoring to get us down from 'fantasy world,'" Kennedy said. "The reality of the situation would you say you is have 5 million sponsors, they change each month, consistently, most likely consistently — you don't have the capacity to know who each one of those promoters is, isn't that right?" 

In depicting their arrangements, the stages didn't bear much better with congresspersons' inquiries. 

Remote specialists utilizing their genuine names on Facebook can attempt to cause confusion insofar as they're acting inside Facebook's standards, Facebook General Counsel Colin Stretch's declaration uncovered. 

"It wasn't so much the substance — in spite of the fact that to be clear quite a bit of that substance is hostile and has no place on Facebook — yet the genuine issue with what we saw was its absence of legitimacy," Stretch said. On the off chance that Kremlin specialists utilized genuine records and maintain the stage's standards, that inferred, they could simply ahead and post away. 

In its declaration, Twitter clarified it doesn't have a decent reaction to square shell organizations hoping to control races from promoting on its stage. At the point when Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse asked the organization how it would keep a legitimate partnership called "Americans for Puppies and Prosperity" from attempting to swing decisions for the benefit of a unique intrigue or a remote power, Twitter acting General Counsel Sean Edgett didn't have an answer. 

"I believe that is an issue," Edgett stated, disclosing Twitter is proceeding to investigate "how would you become acquainted with your customer." 

What's more, when Google was gotten some information about whether it saw itself as a media or innovation organization — an inquiry getting at whether it feels an awareness of other's expectations for the news on its stage — it went straight for the "don't point the finger at us" reply. "We are not a daily paper," Google Director of Law Enforcement and Information Security Richard Salgado said. 

The stages' powerlessness to screen themselves was jabbed at by representatives for the duration of the day. Minnesota Sen. Al Franken fumed against Facebook, taking note of the fact that it was so ease back to discharge its discoveries about a $100,000 advertisement purchase on its stage by a Kremlin-connected office trying to upset US governmental issues.

"How did Facebook, which prides itself on having the capacity to process billions of information focuses and in a flash change them into individual associations for its clients, some way or another not make the association that decision advertisements, paid for in rubles, were originating from Russia?" he said. "Those are two information focuses: American political promotions and Russian cash, rubles. How might you not interface those two dabs?" 

At the beginning of the hearing, Senator Lindsey Graham solicited, "The test from this hearing, and of this concentration, is how would we keep the great and manage the awful?" When the hearing finished, the appropriate response appeared as unattainable as ever.

They just make the password using their name and some numerical numbers. But it is not enough to make the password strong. Instead we can make a strong password by combining alphabet (small and capital), numbers, etc. 

Here is an example of a strong password. (User name : mizan29, Password: Ahm896@diprS#). It is very strong and almost impossible for the hackers to steal or to make it by imagination.

Log out after using

We forget it to log out our accounts after using them very often. But it is obviously a bad practice. We should log out our accounts when we are going to finish. Hackers may take the chance to hack our password, user name, etc. 

if we do not sign out. The chances are more to steal the personal data if the accounts are logged in. It may take 2-6 seconds logging out. And we have to build up this habit to protect our accounts being hacked.

Clear your browser data after a specific interval

This is another attempt to secure our data. As you can see, there are many websites and they use some application to store their cookies in our browser. If we do not clear the cookies, they logically have the ability to track us easily. You can prove it yourself. Say, you log in to Amazon and browse some product to get some ideas to write a review article. After finishing browsing this site, you close it. After few days, just log in to your facebook account to spend some time posting, commenting and such. As amazon.com uses cookies, you can see their ads on your facebook ads feed. And the product is the same product you browsed a few days back.

So, these are some basic but important factor to protect our password and all personal data from getting hacked by the hacker. After hacking your financial account, they (hackers) may ruin you within a short time. Otherwise, they can post some illegal content on your account that may affect you and your account together.

Besides, the option there is some third party tools (like Pocket) on the internet and they help the users of tweeter to bookmark their desired tweet to read them out later. But as they are working as third party tools, users of twitter feel unsafe with their bookmark as well. On the other hand, it takes some extra effort too.

Most Talk of the World: Blue Whale Suicidal Game

It is now one of the most trending topics around the world. It is said that some gamers (challengers) have already been committed suicide playing the game. That’s why we have made a total search about the game and today we will talk about the suicidal game, Blue Whale. It is also known as “Blue Whale Challenge”.

Philipp Budeikin

Invention of the game

The name of the creator of Blue whale is Philipp Budeikin, a Russian who was a 21-year-old former psychology student. For his invention of the game, he was expelled from the institute during his study period in 2016. After getting banished from the university, he made a plan to create such game that can lead a gamer to death. The game was invented in 2013. In the game there is a series of tasks assigned to challengers by administrators over a 50-day (50 levels) period. And in the last level, the gamer commits suicide according to the instruction by the admin.

Blue Whale Game

Structure of the game and levels

Actually the game has 50 levels to complete by the challenger within 50 days. When a gamer wants to install the game, there is a message saying “Are you ready to take the challenge?”. If the gamer press yes, then the game is installed to the device. During the installation process of the game, the admin of the game receives all data from the challenger’s device including ids and passwords, everything. The game then starts with a simple task to be completed by the gamer assigned by the administrator. The process continues gradually and during these levels, the administrator of the game cleverly collects personal data of the gamer.

Levels getting complicated

After few levels, when the levels advance forward, sometimes the administrator assigns some critical and funny tasks to the gamer. The gamer is asked to get up late at night (2.00-3.00am) and walk alone on the top roof of the building. Sometimes, the administrator says to go to the tomb alone at late night and so many other peculiar tasks that have challenges. The gamer most often likes the challenge to take because the gamer is young enough. The gamers are teenagers in most cases. 

The administrator starts blackmailing

In this process the level of the game continues. Now almost all personal and family related data are being collected by the admin. The administrator of the game now changes the way of challenge. Levels become difficult to perform for the gamer. And if the gamer refuses to perform the given task, the administrator begins to blackmail the gamer. Then the gamer is compelled to do the given task whether it is difficult for him or not.

Another attraction of the game is attractive and compelling graphic design. It attracts most gamers to continue their journey. However, the process develop to the finishing level and through the passage of the game, the gamer is almost getting hypnotized by the administrator.

Levels to commit suicide

Now the gamer wants relief from the game but the administrator continues his blackmailing. The administrator now gives the most dreadful and challenging task to commit suicide but the gamer refuses. Then the administrator shows the gamer all the data given by the gamer including personal information, photos and many more. At the last level of the game, to get rid of the game, the gamer (challenger) commits suicide finally.

Victim of the game

Saying of Philipp Budeikin about the game

After arresting the inventor of the game, police asked him why did he invent such a destructive game that causes death to the gamer (challenger)? In reply, he said that he did not want the frustrated people to live on the earth as they have no value for the society. And he wanted to cleanse the society by their committing suicide.

Human being is very curious by nature. They always want to unveil the mystery of anything before them. But as human being is the best creation of The Creator and has the most powerful conscience to judge whether it is right or wrong, they should never commit suicide anymore.

Facebook is Going to Bring the Most Accessible VR (Oculus Go) in 2018!!

Mark Zuckerberg has declared to bring the most accessible VR (Oculus Go) in the market in 2018 recently. He said that it will be the most accessible VR ever. He hoped that a billion people around the world will be connected through this awesome device and which price is not also beyond one's reach. 

Before going through this post, I would like to make the term "VR" (Virtual Reality) clear to all of you. 

Definition of VR (Virtual Reality)

"Virtual reality (VR) is a computer technology that uses virtual reality headsets, sometimes in combination with physical spaces or multi-projected environments, to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual or imaginary environment."

                                                                                                            -According to Wikipedia.

It is said that the first VR (Oculus Rift) was not selling according to their expectation and it did not reach to the mass. There may be some reasons behind it. Some of them are price, insufficient knowledge of the mass and many more. So when the first VR launched in 2016, it did not meet the company's expectation.

But the recent invention of the VR (Oculus Go) is expected to reach the mass as the price is not so high and one can buy with their budget. Now the company set a target to reach a billion people with the technology. 

In the course of recent decades, guarantees of virtual reality have come in waves. This most recent exertion demonstrates the most guarantee, by a wide margin - yet the unavoidable detail is that the equipment still remains excessively awkward for the mass market. Premium VR is too enormous and excessively costly.

Some people say that the device is anti-social and detaching. On the other hand, the company says, it is not so rather it is more enjoyable because we have limitation in the reality. It will open a new dimension before us. It will connect person to person everywhere that will be a massive success of this project. 

"I think one of the problems with VR as a mass-market proposition is that you're unaware of what's happening around you in reality,” said analyst Mr Delaney.

The gadget will be sent to engineers to begin working with in November this year. It will offer preferable visuals over the present Gear VR, yet drops well shy of the premium VR encounter offered by the Oculus Rift and Touch controllers.

But we, the ordinary people around the world, always hope that there may be some good sides for human being to make the whole world better for lives. Because all technology should have advantage for human being and something good should come out using their technology. To make the world knowledge based and technically improved there is no way to keep us updated with latest technological news and views.
