Android malware! On Facebook! Caught on camera! If you're using Facebook on your Android smartphone, you should be just as careful clicking on links as you would (hopefully) be on a desktop computer.
How is it possible that in an industry dominated by advanced performance metrics and benchmarking tests, cybercriminals still manage to release unique malware that remains undetected for weeks by major antivirus vendors?
Here’s an up-close look at some of the nasty tactics today’s hackers are using—and why security vendors can’t stop them with yesterday’s approach.

The LISA Stopline project aims to provide a structure enabling illegal Internet content to be reported anonymously and to deal with these reports in collaboration with the relevant national and international authorities.
Through its website, LISA Stopline therefore offers the public a way of taking civic action against illegal content on the Internet.

Just as U.S. companies are coming to grips with the threats to their computer networks emanating from cyber spies based in China, a noted expert is highlighting what he says is an even more pernicious vulnerability in smartphones.
How can you maintain information superiority in today’s reality? As a network defender you need to have a clear baseline of your environment in order to protect it.
Whether we’re engaging foes in warfare or protecting our computer networks, having information superiority is essential to success.
Defined in the US Army Vision 2010 doctrine as “the capability to collect, process, and disseminate an uninterrupted flow of information while exploiting or denying an adversary’s ability to do the same,”
===> Information superiority is identified as “the key enabler in 21st century operations”. <===
Why the need to secure a computer? Isn't this a question which you were asking since long? I will try to give you an answer for that with pedagogical background.
Don't fear,it’s not like on school, you will learn on an easy way, on a way as you would ask me a question and I would answer on a way that you will understand it…

Many schools are beginning to use social media to send out information to parents. Examples include twitter feeds and facebook pages. These initial forays into social media are a first step.
MITx will offer a portfolio of MIT courses for free to a virtual community of learners around the world. It will also enhance the educational experience of its on-campus students, offering them online tools that supplement and enrich their classroom and laboratory experiences.
The first MITx course, 6.002x (Circuits and Electronics), will be launched in an experimental prototype form. Watch this space for further upcoming courses, which will become available in Fall 2012.
L’identité numérique est devenue, avec l’accélération de l’utilisation des réseaux sociaux par nos élèves et la prolifération des données personnelles sur le Web un thème de formation essentiel en information - documentation pour les aider à contrôler leur e-réputation, maîtriser leur image publique et la gestion des traces laissées sur le net.
Plusieurs ressources, publiées depuis peu, proposent des pistes pédagogiques ou des dossiers plus généraux sur lesquels fonder la formation à l’identité numérique avec les élèves.
Flipped Classroom is an inverted method of instruction where teaching and learning take place online outside of the class while homework is done in the classroom. Advocators of this approach believe that this is the ideal method of instruction in our digital age. They basically build their judgement on the following facts
The official Microsoft Security Blog provides in-depth discussion of security, cybersecurity and technology trends affecting trust in computing, as well as timely security news, trends, and practical security guidance.
Attackers’ motivations have changed since 2004 and now ===> financial gain is a primary motivation for the activity we see in the threat landscape. <===
Attackers have had to broaden the repertoire of tactics they use to attempt to compromise systems; most of the attacks we see today rely on social engineering - trying to get users to bring badness from the Internet through their host based firewalls via web browsers, peer to peer networks, document parsers, email, social networks, etc.

The Internet has had a massive effect on all aspects of human life and interactions since its inception. The world has shrunk considerably and the speed of life has increased dramatically.
But one specific aspect that the internet has had an enormous effect on is education. It’s changing education for good and for the good of all.

Since MIT’s Lifelong Kindergarten group released Scratch in 2007, kids ages 8 to 13 have built more than 2.2 million animations, games, music, videos and stories using the kid-friendly programming language.
Scratch allows kids to snap together graphical blocks of instructions, like Lego bricks, to control sprites—the movable objects that perform actions. Sprites can dance, sing, run and talk.
Information security awareness and training are critical for any organization’s information security strategy and supporting security operations.
People are, in many cases, an organization’s last line of defense against threats such as malicious code, disgruntled employees, and malicious third parties.
It is, therefore, important to ===> educate <=== workers on what your organization considers appropriate security-conscious behavior and on the security best practices they need to incorporate in their daily business activities.
===> Transform your security message from “no” to “how.” <===
Demonstrate to your organization how to be secure rather than telling them what they can or cannot do.
===> Gust MEES: This also applies to #education! Especially for #BYOD and #BYOT <===
How do you stay creative? (Image by AFP/Getty Images via @daylife) It’s easy to watch a hotshot young executive – or poet, painter, or filmmaker – and wonder if creativity is the province of the young.
But Jonah Lehrer, author of the new Imagine:
===> How Creativity Works <===, doesn’t buy it: “There’s nothing inevitable about a decline of creativity over time,” he said in a recent interview. Instead, any executive can take steps to ensure their ideas stay fresh, vital, and relevant.
"It's really important that parents understand how the Internet works and how young people are using it.
There's no point to having a conversation with your child about how they use social networking sites if you have no idea what Facebook, MSN or instant messenger is.
It's not about taking over their world or spying on them. It's about understanding and appreciating it."

Personal Learning Networks, or PLNs, have been around forever. Originally, they were your family and friends, maybe other educators you worked with, but as the internet and web 2.0 tools have become nearly ubiquitous, PLNs can include tons of different communities – social networking sites like Facebook, blogs, Twitter, wikis, social bookmarking tools, LinkedIn, and so many more. Basically, anyone that you interact with is apart of your PLN, whether they are social contacts, professional peers, or experts in their field. Most of the ‘learning’ takes place on-line now, because it is simple to find and connect with others with similar interests from around the world.
