Turkey Has Arrested Thirty Two Hacker Members from the Organization Anonymous

It is reported that after the hacker organization, Anonymous, imposed DDOS attacks to the Turkey government website, Turkey government has initiated active response and immediate arrested 32 Anonymous members.

It is known that these 32 Anonymous members arrested by Turkey government were scattered in 12 cities in this country among which are the capital of the country Ankara and Istanbul, the port city located in the Northeastern part of the country.

This hacker organization is a loose organization consisted of a group of radicals. Generally, they tend to conduct DDOS attack toward organizations and companies they oppose. This attack denies users access to log on this website. Spain had announced for the first time in last Friday that it has mobilized police force to fight against Anonymous. Spain has arrested three members of this organization who are suspected to have issued DDOS attack toward banks, government websites and Sony and other companies.

Anonymous organization had also publicized an announcement on last Friday on its own website, AnonOps Communications that the purpose of their attacking the Turkey government was to protest the internet relevant plan released by the government in last August. The radicals from more than 30 cities in Turkey demonstrated in the street in this May to oppose this country's issuing this plan.

In the past several years, we have witnessed with our own eyes how Turkey government adopt various internet inspection measures such as filtering the content of YouTube, Rapidshare, Fileserve and thousands of other websites. This announcement highlights that the government has also denied users of the access to Google service in recent days. To users, inspection of this type is unforgiveable.

The Anonymous notes that it will adopt the Low Orbit Ion Cannon to conduct attack mission. The targets of this Low Orbit Ion Cannon include Turkey Tele Communication Bureau and Social Security Institution of this country. Low Orbit is an easy and convenient tool to issue DDOS attack. However, some public security-experts comment that law enforcement institutions can easily follow the tracks to find the user of this tool.

In last Saturday, the Anonymous organization remarked that they have got back at the Spanish police station and successfully conducted a four-hour long DDOS attack toward the website of the police station. Nevertheless, the website of Spanish police station has recovered its normal function in this morning.

Although, the attacks of hackers seem to be omnipresent, government can effectively protect the private information from being leaked through installing anti-spyware.

Apple is Not Totally Virus-Free! Mac Users Should Be Cautious about Fake Anti-Virus Software

The Apple Company has released a security patch in recent days to deal with the continuous attack targeted as Mac users by a type of fake anti-virus software. This patch deleted the fake anti-virus software named Mac Defender and added the detection service to the in-built malware monitoring function of Mac computer for the purpose of preventing its users from downloading fake anti-virus software as soon as possible. If the upgraded software detects the attack, a warning window will pop out of the interface which contains an eye-catchy red Stop sign with white exclamation point.

It is understood that the MAC Defender will send warnings to the users and inform them that their computers have infected with the virus through operating a fake, virus-scanning flash window. Then, this fake software will operate a real MAC installing program and request the users to enter the Administrator password. Once the users install this program, their computer will behave like it has indeed infected with virus and open a bunch of annoying websites. Other functions and features of the computer will also be affected. Then, the Mac Defender will offer to the users three options, one year, two-year and life-long anti-virus service. If the users choose to purchase, the Mac Defender will steal the credit card information of the users.

At the present phase, the Apple Company has disclosed the method for manual removing this software on its official website. Nevertheless, according to the report of the American IT website ZDNet, Mac Defender released the latest edition which can avoid the interception of this method a few hours after the Apple Company's launching of the security patch.

It is widely known that the previous number of malware aimed at damaging the OS X platform is rather limited. However, as the increasingly popularization of Apple products in the world, the number of Apple computer users keeps expanding. Virus targeting Mac system shows is skyrocketing in every year as the market share of Apple Company grows. According to the detection of the professional information security manufacturer, Kaspersky Lab, the number of newly detected viruses by Kaspersky in every single day has exceeded 35 thousand and among which are 300 targeting at Mac system. It can be indicated from this observation that Mac system has become the new attack target of cyber criminals.

In responding to this situation, the Kaspersky Lab has introduced to the Mac users the brand new Mac security and anti-virus software which can effectively defend the attach of virus which targets at Mac system, Trojan, hackers, virus-carried e-mails and other internet threats.

Computer System Optimization --Improving the Speed to Surf Internet

There are many aspects for system optimization, and the improvement of Internet speed is one of a kind of optimization, which is also the more important reasons for optimization, we introduce several acceleration methods in the following:
<b> </b>
1. Modify the registry

Note: Please back up your registry files before changes.

a, start the Registry Editor and complete the following settings. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ Class \ NetTrans \ 0000, key name: MaxMT, change the value to 1500.MaxMTU is the largest TCP / IP transmission unit, in the standard TCP / IP protocol, the data to be transferred is divided into smaller groups for transmission, and the size of each group is 576 bytes. Default bytes in Windows are 1500 bytes, which is <span>the Ethernet packet standards.  Many broadband users set the value to 576 to optimize the system while originally surfing the internet through dial-up, and now we have to change it back to the default values. Although in theory the value of PPPoE in ADSL we use is smaller than this value, but in general we are satisfied with this value. This is the most critical part of ADSL optimization for many users.

</span>
<span>b, In the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ VxD \ MSTCP, modify the following string value.

DefaultRcvWindow = 32768

DefaultTTL = 64

Where defaultRcvWindo transmission unit is the size of the buffer. It will result in packet blocking to reduce transmission efficiency if the Buffer is too small. If the buffer is too large and a packet is error, it will cause all the partitions in the buffer discarded and resent, and also reduce efficiency. The size of the value is related to the speed of the Modem, preferably 32768. Default TTL is the TCP / IP packet's life, if the transmittion time of the packet in the Internet is longer than the life of the packet, the packet will be discarded. Change Default TTL to be larger is useful to transmit the information to be further. Some friends may feel too much trouble about above optimization, perhaps there is still some doubt about the final result. We can use Advanced SystemCare PRO 3 to modify the registry and improve system performance. </span>


2. Change the operating system to Windows XP

After changing to Windows XP, Many friends found markedly improved Internet speed and the stability of the network has improved a lot, stop and Shock basically do not exist. So it is a better way to solve the problem by changing to Windows XP.

3, let start more quickly

 After installed ADSL, each time the starting speed of your system slows down significantly, it will take up to 2 to 3 minutes sometimes. Actually, ADSL don't affect PC, but rather the network card, the reason is very simple: the installation of network card is installed in the network card TCP / IP protocol and not set TCP / IP, the system defaults to "obtain IP automatically address ", so every time it will constantly searches the network DHCP server to obtain their dynamic IP addresses when you start the system, the computer will search repeatedly if the DHCP server don't be searched, so the starting speed will be significantly slower.

Solution: set a fixed IP address for the system.

a, open the "Control Panel&rdquo; &rarr; &ldquo;Network&rdquo; , select TCP / IP protocol of your network card in the" Configuration ", and then click " attribute. "

b, select "IP address&rarr; IP address of the specified input,IP address and subnet mask, at last, click " OK. "
c, restart the computer, the speed is faster.

But for some extern7al ADSL Modem, you can't surf the internet if it don't set to &ldquo;obtain IP address automatically How to do it?  Above the versions of Windows Me, it has been optimization for the search time, it doesn't matter whether you set or not.

In addition, you also can find junk files and remove junk files to improve the speed of surf internet.

What Is Privacy Sweep?

Privacy security was once again under hot debate among the public when news has it that Google illegally accumulated its users' private information with its smart phone application. It isn't yet clear whether Google should be held accountable as a result of the sensational news, but one thing I can tell from the incident is that people lay a really heavy store by their privacy. Therefore, it is just natural for online users to grow vigilant and skeptical of the privacy sweep option offered by system care software or anti-virus software.

They will cast great doubt about this privacy sweep option: does it mean that these security tools will peek into our privacy or what? But in fact, this option doesn't work as they supposed. Quite the opposite, it works to protect our internet privacy. Well, just let me show you how it achieves this purpose.

I believe now many of you are keen on online shopping or will occasionally make online transfer. It means you make your payment through the connected network. And it will be na&iuml;ve of you to entrust your account security all to the banking system. It is because when you type in your account number and password to make payment, these messages will be automatically stored in your computer system without your knowing. In this way, you don't have to type it again when logging on the banking system next time. Though this means good, it does risk the leaking of your private information.

And the privacy sweep option rightly acts to respond to this risk. By selecting this option, the software will wipe out all your online activities, internet and history traces lingered in your computer's hard disk or registry. Take Iboit Advanced SystemCare PRO 3 for example. This system care software just offers the privacy sweep option. It is a good feature of it. As it is powerful and efficient in junk messages detection, it will completely erase the private messages linger out there, especially in the registry. In a word, it leaves no chance for hackers to steal your privacy by inserting Trojans or spywares. Besides, anti-virus software like Kaspersky also supports similar options.

To sum it up, privacy sweep doesn't mean to peek into our privacy. Instead, it functions to keep our privacy from being stolen by the spywares or Trojans infiltrate into our systems. Understand it, and you will like it.

4 Paths of Hacker`s Attacks

It is always better for you to know about your enemies if you want to defeat them. For us computer users, the threats and attacks of hackers are always a bother. Apparently, we need to do far more than just building up a firewall against them. Knowing some common attacking ways of hackers helps us better deal with the problems.

First of all, most hackers enter our computer systems via Trojan horse viruses. Trojan horse viruses may be put into our computer systems by hackers after they get the reading clearance to our systems, or they may enter our systems through the vulnerabilities in our Internet browsers when we browse some junk websites. Of course, in most cases, as we computer users are not fully aware of the danger, we may open some pictures or apps sent by strangers. This can directly open a door for Trojan horse viruses to enter our computer systems.

Secondly, hackers can enter our systems via the Inter-progress Communication share platform. Especially for Windows 2000 and Windows XP users, Inter-progress Communication share platform is almost useless &ndash; and it builds a convenient way for hackers' attacks. Experienced hackers may easily figure out your share account password, using some particular software such as one named Smbcrack on the Internet. However, it is for the best to set a secure and complicated password for your Inter-progress Communication share platform.

Thirdly, some hackers can take advantage of the vulnerabilities in Internet Information Service. Installing a simple IIS, and building up an unscheduled FTP or Website are fancies by a large number of computer fans. But the vulnerabilities in IIS are really worrying. Remote attackers can use the vulnerability attacking app, Webdavx 3, to launch attacks to IIS users. What these computer fans should notice is to watch the official website of Microsoft Company closely, and do the software patches in time.

Lastly, the malicious codes on some websites can help hackers attack our computer systems. These websites usually modify users' computer registries without clearance. For example, the homepages of users' Internet browsers may be modified. If we have powerful registry protecting software, we can be prepared for this kind of attacks.

Facing the attacks of hackers, it is essential for us to have trust-worthy anti-spyware computer guards. For example, this Advanced SystemCare PRO 4 on iobit.com provides computer users the strongest protection by rejecting all hackers, hijackers and malicious spyware and setting our computer registries in order. We can use our computer without any worry with this Advanced SystemCare PRO 4.
