What did the hackers discuss?

“To blame others is human”-agreed?
Have you ever imagined that hackers will put the blame on us (the users) for security breach?

Yes, it is true. When we always blamed the hardware or software for password thefts, hackers and professionals point their fingers on users only.

The world’s premier hacker conference DefCon, held in Las Vegas last week, threw a different light on this vexing issue.

How many times users left their passwords on open note books, kept in slips under the keyboard in spite of warnings that they see in their everyday work?

The fact that legendry hacker Kevin Mitnic’s notorious attacks were based more on manipulating people than software, should make us listen to the professionals more seriously.

The conference reminded the internet world, the number of times users have fallen easy prey to phishing emails. In fact I was one of the victims last week.

This blog post is sponsored by Christmas Gifts, who through their web release, talked about some very interesting news about Santa Claus.

The artist Alexander Anderson created the first American image of Nicholas for the occasion of the first anniversary of ‘The New York Historical Society’ on December 6, 1810.

Nicholas was shown in a gift-giving role with children's treats in stockings hanging at a fireplace.

In his satirical fiction, Knickerbocker's History of New York in January 1809, Washington Irving made numerous references to a jolly St. Nicholas character as an elfin Dutch burgher with a clay pipe and not
a saintly bishop.

Other legends:
The first Dutch emigrant ship had a figurehead of St. Nicholas;
The first church was dedicated to him;
St. Nicholas comes down chimneys to bring gifts.

Now coming to the gift baskets for Christmas, I wish some of the finest products offered in the gourmet industry like Torn Ranch Rose from gourmetgiftbaskets.com that was also featured in ‘The Gourmet Retailer’
