What is a Vpn Connection

How companies make advertising more money (because they really need) products and services of interest to us, most of the time without our knowledge or consent?

Presentation of the "supercookie", technically known as X-UIDH, which is basically an identifier or header that follows the websites people visit and how much time they spend on them.

Verizon added header in client Web traffic to mobile phone - which means that every time you visit a website on the network using your mobile device, the header can see what websites you've visited and can see what applications you use! This information is passed on third party advertisers who can see that you are interested in "How to grow your own turnip" and press advertisements tailored for you with their fingers crossed, praying you make a purchase. Do not you just!

According to Russia Today, because the heading is "injected into the network, any device could be infected, even if it belongs to those who have never been customers of Verizon "and only party advertising agencies that have signed the Verizon program can follow you -. a list of these companies is top secret squirrel stuff, but they are there, monitoring and taking notes on your tastes and interests!

Netflix denies attempt to crackdown on VPN users to access its content. Users rejoice! You can still access Netflix using a VPN!

Netflix users around the world can breathe a sigh of relief when it seems that the snowball effect took place, in that the recent speculation network online streaming Netflix plans to punish VPN users to use its service, are in fact "false."

Earlier this week some users have reported difficulties getting Netflix for Android app to work on a VPN and the Domain Name System service (DNS) that has sent many Netflix users into a mad panic. The reports have flooded the net with news that Netflix was tough against the VPN users who would use it to access the US version of Netflix. US Netflix offers a larger selection of movies and TV shows than what is available in the world, for example, the US version offers shows such as Twin Peaks, and Broad City, but they are not not available to customers in the UK Netflix.

However, since these initial reports, during a roundtable at the Consumer Electronics Show (cES) in Las Vegas, Neil Hunt, Product Manager for Netflix said that "in the Android app we added a safety device, so if DNS time we come to Google DNS. It is not intended to steer people away from VPN - .. It is designed to make the application more robust when your own DNS provider is a failure "So the update of the application is to improve stability and not a way to block VPN users

Hunt added that "the claims that we have changed our VPN policy are false. People who use a VPN to access our service outside of the area is that it still works just as it always has. "

So there you have it straight from the horses mouth, Netflix will NOT take action against VPN users.

Using a VPN solid, reliable, as Hide My Ass! Pro VPN secures and protects your private and confidential information getting into the wrong hands, while at home, at work, while traveling abroad and when Wi-Fi access. well safe, quick as HMA VPN service!. is paramount when delivering content online

YouTube Censorship still exists in many countries worldwide. But that block YouTube country?

YouTube is seen by billions, yes billions of ordinary people who use it to watch all types of content, from documentaries to comedies to the outrageous and ridiculous (Yep, I'm talking about "How base" ), and also upload their own videos to the site. Many media companies provide their content on YouTube, including CBS, and streaming video website Hulu

Here's a question for you -. How do you think video is uploaded to YouTube every minute? ... Keep reading to find out!

Unfortunately, YouTube fell foul of censorship in many countries. Content that insult or criticism of the government or official, religious leaders, etc. can all lead to a temporary or permanent ban. Counterfeiting (the UK and the US have both videos blocked or deleted due to violation of copyright), and it should not be forgotten that many countries are blocking YouTube in the race for the election. Some countries will block specific videos, while others place a general ban on YouTube.

But countries that ban YouTube and countries that block Facebook can not actually win because it is a secure way to access videos and websites!

Which countries Block YouTube?

China

YouTube has been blocked a number of times in China. In March 08 YouTube was blocked during the riots in Tibet

in March 09 -. YouTube was blocked again, although no official statement has been made to confirm. Unfortunately, the block has not been lifted since - 6 years and YouTube in China

Iran

Iran has banned YouTube in December 06, declaring "immoral". Access was restricted until 09, but a permanent block was imposed in 2012 after the film "Innocence of Muslims" was uploaded on the site.

North Korea

I'm sure I will not shock you by saying that YouTube is blocked in North Korea. Most ordinary North Koreans do not have Internet access, only those from elite families, universities, and a number of research institutions have access to the intranet of the country -. Kwangmyong

Pakistan

A block on YouTube was imposed on February 22, 08, due to many blasphemous videos.

Another block on YouTube was applied by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) on September 17, 2012, after YouTube was unable to remove the anti-Islam film "Innocence of Muslims "which caused violent protests in the country and outraged the Islamic world.

block on YouTube was supposed to be temporary, but many Pakistani considered the ban was extended due to a number of religious groups condemning the site as "blasphemous".

many expressed their frustration through various means, including KholoBC a youth initiative against the state censorship in Pakistan.

After several attempts by a number of human rights groups and the Standing Senate Committee of Pakistan on human rights to have lifted off, the block remains on YouTube.

Syria

YouTube was accessible in Syria for a short period in 2011, but has been blocked and remains blocked until now after the start of the Syrian civil war.

Germany

much of YouTube has not been accessible for millions of Internet users in Germany since the end of March 09 . This is due to a dispute between YouTube and GEMA (GEMA), a musical performance company. Many music videos are blocked by GEMA. A recent study by OpenDataCity found that over "60 percent of the first 1,000 YouTube videos are not available in Germany because YouTube assumes that music rights are " maybe " owned by the company Music collecting GEMA, "including background music .

A number of other countries have temporarily blocked YouTube, including Tajikistan and Turkey.

Oh, and if you guessed 48 hours of video is posted on YouTube every minute - give yourself a pat on the back

you live in a country with a permanent ban Youtube Do !? Let us know how it affects you commenting here on our blog.

Do you spy your car? Is what you can do to protect yourself from the car spy? It seems that everyone and everything is spying on us in one form or another! Recently, Samsung TV admitted that recorded customer conversations, and do not forget spying NSA and the scandal of mass surveillance. Now we learn that our cars are spying on us from a recent report by the Access to Information and Privacy Association in Canada.

The next time you jump in your car and head out shopping or cruising along Route 66 to ask you: " is my car spying on me? "I do not mean whether you peeping from behind the dashboard waiting to see if you eat the sandwich with peanut butter and jam to the first, or bath KFC poutine. I talk about data, your personal data that is collected and shared. But that receives your personal data? Keep reading to discover

How is your car you track

Most new cars are equipped with a large number of high-tech gadgets - from voice enabled phones for navigation GPS systems. Modern cars have become fully decked-out move entertainment systems and business centers in one. We can make phone calls, browse the web, listen to music and watch videos. errand boy of today is much more smooth and cool back in the 80's - thank you God

The cars are equipped with mini-computers actually hundreds them are integrated in a car that ensures proper operation; the braking system, acceleration and other important security features.

But every time you drive your car, you also leave behind personal data.

What kind of personal data is a modern car to collect?

a lot of personal data and much more than you probably think, and it had many privacy advocates concerned.

a report from the Access to Information and Privacy Association in Canada found that new vehicles were equipped with telematics technology. Privacy lawyer Philippa Lawson, who worked on the report, said: "We found all new vehicles are coming with telematics technology, which means that wireless transmissions of vehicle-based data back to the manufacturer to that cars are now all electronic and efficiently computers on wheels, "

in the UK, about 300,000 cars are equipped with telematics technology according to the Association of British insurance brokers (Biba) and with the need increasingly to be connected wherever we are, that number is bound to increase.

Because the cars are equipped with GPS navigation systems, and equipped with the Internet, it means your browsing habits and your contacts, your texts and emails, your position and your musical preferences, all different types of data are in the system of the car. other data is speed with which you brake, how fast you drive, when your car is at rest. They may even know who is sitting in the car with you! Pretty scary, right ?!

A modern car equipped with all the latest technology decreases our chances of being seriously injured in a car accident. For example, the computer of a car can detect the impact and airbag deployment.

But it can also track your movements and your personal data may be shared with the manufacturer of the car, an insurance agency or other third parties, such as marketing.

now if you are not always "model" perfect driver, driving habits will more than likely be shared with your insurance company. You might see your car insurance rising. But of course if you are the perfect driver, you might see your insurance rates went down.

You can see how easy it is for your car to the accumulation of your profile!

connected cars also increase the chances of your car being hacked, so there is a real danger that your data could fall into the wrong hands - your personal data could be used to steal your identity, to make you sing or even you track down [

last year, Ford's marketing singer said: "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing," he realized it. had let the cat out of the bag, and quickly added, "Besides, we do not provide the data to everyone. "Too late!

How to protect the car spy

Unfortunately there seem to be a surefire way to protect you from the spy car unless you ride a bike, or you buy a car Fred Flintstone made of stone hides and animals.

However, a number of organizations, including the Canadian Automobile Association and other BC defenders of privacy protection rules demanding data connected to the auto industry - as what companies can do with a car sends data Hopefully we soon hear good. new!

targeted TV ads coming to your TV to help advertisers and rejuvenate reporting sales by targeting the tastes of viewers and viewing behavior. Remember the reports some months ago where Samsung TV admitted that their TV sets were recording our conversations? Well, now, our television sets could start watching us watching them using targeted TV ads, find out more about our viewing habits.

The television advertising revenues dipped down compared to that of Internet advertising for the first time according to the Internet IAB report Advertising Revenue in 2013 which found that Internet advertising has earned $ 42.billion, while television advertising revenues have given $ 40.1 billion. To inject life into the television advertisement a number of industry media companies are fighting back using a television tracking software to deliver targeted television ads based on our likes, dislikes and interests. Companies such as Google - which generate huge amounts of money by charging businesses for all-important keywords found in emails and search terms, is a company that recently tested their TV ads Fiber in Kansas for get a more accurate idea of ​​the number of people who actually watch TV commercials, and ads that they are interested in -. turnover greater benefits in television advertising

Google already collects huge amounts of data about us, our likes and dislikes our behavioral information by following our online activities through our history our navigation using cookies, so Google is able to know the sites we visit for shopping online. Google is pushing to make the job of TV advertising as an Internet ad, of course, allow them to collect even more data about us

When there is a gap in the market - where advertising and media companies are losing money - the gap must be filled! More input

"TV has ceased to be a thing one way you look, but it does not concern you!" - Lee Tien Electronic Frontier Foundation

Unfortunately, many of us are almost desensitized to the fact that our online activities are tracked, using cookies, by businesses and the third websites- of course party, you can use a VPN to your online activity isn 't followed because they will be followed by the IP address of a VPN server. We are bombarded with targeted TV ads in our browsing history, we are followed by facial recognition technology deployed in airports and football stadiums, so it's no real surprise that media companies provide targeted TV ads our salons.

Google is not alone. Earlier this year, NBCUniversal launched its Audience Targeting Platform (ATP) to access data from viewers of set-top boxes belonging to largest cable operator in America, Comcast. And Turner Broadcasting uses its product "Public" to capture and collect data from viewers. Media companies hope to get to know their audience on a more personal level by collecting data of viewers of TV decoders, they will be able to know much more about them, and therefore make more money!

the NBCUniversal Television tracking software is able to show viewers of TV ads targeted based on their viewing preferences. For example, a family that loves fast food might see more targeted television ads for hamburgers and fried chicken. But target a number of households, who is like a burger too is not good news - a recent study showed that those who watched television advertising for unhealthy foods consume more calories! However, this study shows that TV ads produce the results they need!

Thus, our web browser already knows us by visiting our browsing history, and now our TV will know about us through tracking software for television! There is no escape - unless you live in a cave

Privacy concerns with the television tracking software

One of the biggest concerns is privacy !. What exactly are these media companies are doing with our personal information by using tracking software to TV? According to Comcast, they are simply using the TV tracking software to enable media companies such as NBC to discover our viewing preferences and likes. Yes, of course they are!

Lee Tien of the Electronic Frontier Foundation has several concerns, talking to International Business Times, he said: "I would ask them," How are you technically implement that? Exactly what data is generated in the process, and then how do you treat the data in a way that can not reveal whether or not the things you say you're not trying to prove? "

tracking software Television does not need that when you turn on your TV, you will see television ads that you targeted fixed, it will be very different from surfing the Internet where you see an irritating advertising pop up every web page you visit. television tracking software will be used to learn more about the display preferences of a household.

what the future might hold using a tracking software for television? well, it does not look like a TV will deliver measurement tracking software individual ads, but it might work in a way that if you watch a lot of sports shows then you can view more ads for beer. There is also a possibility for viewers to control the ads they receive. for example, if you just buy new bedroom furniture, you will probably not want to see advertisements for furnishings for a while - so you could withdraw, which would save advertisers a large amount of money by not showing an ad viewer that is more interested in well course, we really want to help television advertisers to save every penny they can

Wi-Fi hotspots in Cuba have arrived! Yes, well, Cubans can access the Internet through dozens of Wi-Fi hotspots which recently opened on the island.

The Cuban government open Wi-Fi hotspots in 35 regions of the country, which will be able to handle 50 to 100 users with a speed of one megabit a second, depending on Luis Manuel Diaz Naranjo Critic Chief speaks ETECSA The Guardian .

Before the introduction of Wi-Fi hotspots in Cuba, Internet users (especially those from privileged backgrounds such as doctors and government officials ) were the only people who have access to Internet.

for the rest of the population of Cuba, all those who want to get online had to use one of 0 youth computer clubs and Internet cafes belonging to the State which were pricy - $ 4.50 per hour, a cost most Cubans found it difficult to afford since the average monthly salary is about. $ 20 per month

price to use the new Wi-Fi hotspots in Cuba has been reduced from $ 4.50 to $ 2 per hour - still very heavy for most, but at least the government is taking steps in the right direction.

many Cubans were enjoying access to the Internet using their smartphones and tablets - with Facebook the most visited site -. there is a surprise

While political tensions between the US and Cuba have eased, with each country agreeing to open embassies in each other capitals and the renewal of diplomatic relations, Communist-led island is finally releasing its grip on access to the network with the launch of Wi-Fi hotspots in the country.

a company that wanted to push for a free and open internet in Cuba is Google. Eric Schmidt, Google Chairman visited the country last year, to "promote the virtues of a free and open internet," and more recently Google executives proposed a way to rapidly expand access to network all of Cuba.

Cuba and North Korea, is known to have a tight grip on the Internet and limit the amount of information users can access. Approximately 3.4 percent of Cuban households have Internet access, according to a UN agency, however, things are looking bright with the opening of Wi-Fi hotspots in Cuba, and perhaps set up to provide access to home for Cubans using ADSL technology, as reported by Miami Herald.

William Leogrande, a professor of government at American University told Reuters, "Historically, Cuba was probably the worst internet in the hemisphere. Obviously, the Cuban government decided that the wider Internet access is essential for a 21st century economy. Internet cafes and now Wi-Fi network to show that the government is serious about expanding Internet access. "

followed Cross appliance is used by advertisers to identify customers and grow targeted ads on all of our devices.

There was a time, there was not so long ago when we had a camera, maybe a PC or smartphone, making it easier for advertisers to deliver targeted advertisements to our devices. But today, with the average household owns 7.4 Internet devices, advertisers are faced with the challenge of how to identify customers, regardless of the number of devices they own or the type of aircraft that they use, whether smartphones, tablets or desktop computer - their goal is to serve the same pesky ads in all our devices.

companies already know too much about us information they gather from cookies that monitor and store our navigation activities line offers advertisers highly valuable information on our interests and likes, pushing customized ads our system with the hope that we will buy, buy, buy! Using the private browsing mode or private browsing on your computer or smartphone will help you control them, but this removes the data from your computer, not the server.

But as more people own and use a variety of devices, advertisers and companies have trouble keeping track of our online browsing habits, and because cookies are not up to par followed by several device is used to give advertisers a better knowledge of our online behavior.

Although monitoring multi-device gives advertisers and marketers the resources to capture data and online behavior of users, there are a lot of concerns with it, including the consumers' right to life private, the fact that many people are not aware of its existence and capabilities, and that very few ways to stop it. Are we already followed and spied enough? Apparently not, especially when there is money to be made!

Jessica Rich, director of the Federal Trade Commission stated the need to discuss multi-tracking devices because "more consumers connect to the Internet in different ways, and the industry has responded by offering additional tools to monitor their behavior, "she added," with the advent of new monitoring methods, however, it is important to ensure that consumer privacy is protected as companies look to the targeting to multiple devices. "

the Federal Trade Commission is taking public comment (until 16 October), to address privacy and security concerns and to explain how cross device monitoring work, with a workshop to be held on November 16, 2015.

It is difficult to escape the clutches of evil that advertisers no matter what device you use, or the websites you browse, there they are, those irritating ads, and with multi-tracking devices, privacy goes further down the rabbit hole.

I'm sure you have heard about the recent hack Ashley Madison, would have realized by a group of pirates through the name of Team impact, unless, of course, you have lived under a rock for the past few weeks.

Although there has been much media coverage of Ashley Madison hack and track items on the devastation of much of its user relationships caused by their personal information be made public, not much was said the reason for the attack. Many sites have speculated that Team Impact of the attack as an Avid Life Media blackmail (the parent company that owns the Ashley Madison site), or the users themselves.

However, in a interview Motherboard , an alleged member of Team Impact said that this argument could not be further from the truth:

motherboard - "What were your motivations for the hack?"

impact team -. "We were in Avid Media Life long to understand and get all Finally, we looked at the Ashley Madison registrations growing and trafficking people on the sites. Everybody says 37 million! blackmail users! We are not blackmailing users.

Avid Life Media blackmail them. But the whole team could hacking have. We did it to stop 60 million. Avid Media Life is like a drug dealer drug abuse. "

Leaving his personal feelings about the morality of the Ashley Madison hack to one side for the moment, if we take the interview team impact as genuine and sincere, it would seem that the group were motivated by their strong dislike of how Avid life / Ashley Madison treated their users and wanted to highlight their business practices in the average profile as high as possible, despite the potential for enormous collateral damage to the user base. Team Impact claim that Ashley Madison offered a service 'full delete' to permanently delete a user's details to a "small 19 fee $. The Ashley Madison hack has shown that this was not the case . Further analysis of the data dump also suggests that Ashley Madison created 70,000 women 'bots' to send messages to real users on the site .

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the Ashley Madison hack, it seems clear that Avid Life had little respect for the safety of its users -. something that Team Impact wanted to tell the world

Motherboard - "What was their security as"

Team impact -. "Nobody looked Bad No security the only thing was segmented network Pass1234 You can use the Internet to VPN at the root of all... servers. "

" For a company whose main promise is the secret, it's like you have not even tried, as you thought you'd never pi ** ed off anyone "

It is clear that the impact of team comprises a group of highly skilled hackers, motivated not by money, but the need for companies like Avid Media to justice. Although data dumps will no doubt be discussed in more detail in the coming days, with more being reported on revelations, it begs the question - who is next on their list

Or perhaps a more appropriate question would be - what business or like of society, would make good targets for a potential hacker group

watching the great hacks of recent times, the alleged motives behind the attacks appear to differ in each case. With Sony hack , it was claimed a North Korean group was responsible because of the Sony connection with a film that mocks North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, although it may will not necessarily be the case. Black hat hacking group Lizard Squad took down the PSN and Xbox Live network via an unprecedented attack DDOS " for fun. In addition, one of the great aspects here was awareness about the low state of computer security these companies . "Home Depot had 56 million stolen credit card accounts in an attack that was, most likely, financially motivated . Going back even further, the raids Habbo Hotel conducted by the group 'Anonymous, 4chan under were simply made "for the lulz.'

Given the wide range of reasons behind every attack, altruism in financial gain to want simply to cause chaos, almost all large companies could be in the firing line. It is only after the event, when the company or going public hacking group that we find on the dark secrets held by executives, illegal trade practices or poor security used to protect our personal information.

Although if we had to make some guesses about what might happen next, based on what we saw of Ashley Madison hack, we could conclude that an adult video site could be a good candidate for the "next big hack. 'The Ashley Madison data shows the accounts were opened using email addresses government and it seems that British members of Parliament are very happy to watch adult content at work (for research purposes only, no doubt). a list of premium (paid) Brazzers accounts were also recently published on torrent sites a nd it n 't take too much effort to link these accounts to real people, some of which can be saved to corporate e-mail addresses or government.

Getting music, an attack on an adult site could select all or motivation boxes - exposing low level of security, the potential blackmail users and credit card information to a gain financial, as well as a "public service announcement" exposing the hypocrisy of MPs who publicly call censorship of adult content on the Internet, while secretly watching adult material while at work. Not to mention the old because of the age of the aggressors do anything - '. For the lulz

Can we make an educated guess at who is on impact teams the list of

Motherboard [1945008?] - "Is -what team will be the impact hacking other sites in the future? If so, what goals or objectives sort of have you in mind

Team impact - "Not only the sites. All companies that make millions of 100s benefiting from others' pain, secrets and lies. Perhaps the corrupt politicians. If we do, it will be a long time, but there will be total. "

In my personal opinion, one of the obvious targets will Ashely Madison. Yes, another Ashley Madison hack!

Although Christmas Biderman may have resigned in a damage control move, Ashley Madison reported that rather than users to leave en masse, as one might suspect, business is growing (which shows that there is no such thing as bad publicity). no doubt the Avid media called consultants, increased security of the site and can -being even deleted the profiles of users who have paid for the privilege, as promised. However, given the technical competence of the impact team and their hatred of Avid Media, I can not see them take this lying down and can even see it as a challenge.

Can we really expect Team impact to let Ashley Madison operate as usual? Can we really expect from this team of elite hackers to lose face as Avid Media claim their site was actually "hack proof"? I doubt. Team Impact does not seem the type to leave a job half done, so I have a feeling we'll see them again soon.

Anonymous claim infamously that "They do not forgive, they do not forget" but I think the last word should go to Impact team on that occasion - ". It will be total"
