Police to Monitor Indian Cyber-Cafes

with one comment

Vijay Mukhi, President of the Foundation for Information Security and Technology says, “The terrorists know that if they use machines at home, they can be caught. Cybercafes therefore give them anonymity.”

“The police needs to install programs that will capture every key stroke at regular interval screen shots, which will be sent back to a server that will log all the data.

The police can then keep track of all communication between terrorists no matter, which part of the world they operate from.This is the only way to patrol the net and this is how the police informer is going to look in the e-age,” added Mukhi.

Is anyone talking about the societal implications of this sort of wholesale surveillance? Not really:

“The question we need to ask ourselves is whether a breach of privacy is more important or the security of the nation. I do not think the above question needs an answer,” said Mukhi.”As long as personal computers are not being monitored. If monitoring is restricted to public computers, it is in the interest of security,” said National Vice President, People Union for Civil Liberty.

Vodafone Hijacks Airtel’s Domain Name

with 9 comments

There are no ethics in business anymore! Those who thought that MNCs in India would be more ethical are smoking pot! Here is an interesting and a distasteful hijacking of the domain by Vodafone of Airtel’s domain name. Type Airtel.com   and you will be directed to www.vodafone.es ! Domain Squatting in not uncommon but this is a little too cheeky and unprofessional.

Huzaifa Das suggests in a desecrates group email that this is because Vodafone bought out Airtel’s Spain operations. Airtel had won a license to operate in Spain . In the last line, she has a valid point!

Try www.Airtel.es  that will also redirect to www.Vodafone.es ! Vodafone or Badfone huh??

All this three domains r registered and hosted with  Verio Inc. http://www.verio.com/

Goggle.com is a classic and great example of domain squatting — whether you like it or not.

The domain was first registered in 2003, only six years after Google.com was first registered. Sure, it’s quite possible Google just didn’t think about this in the first place and got sloppy, but either way, goggle.com is owned by someone other than Google Inc.

Stats prove that day in and day out, Internet users around the world type in the wrong domain. Google receives hundreds of millions of hits per day, seems like a decent amount of that traffic actually goes to the wrong domain.

So what is goggle.com doing to monetize that typo type-in traffic? “Free” offers provided by FluxAds, which then redirects you to a MyExclusiveRewards partner page. Seems like these “free” offers were a huge success, one year ago, but now they are worthless and it’s so hard to actually make them work now.
