Disney Family Online

Like many other households in America with young children living in them, our house is a Disney house. If the kids are awake and the TV’s are on, they’re usually tuned to The Disney Channel. We have a stack of Disney DVD’s that we regularly enjoy over and over.

The FBI Bragging Rights Target

I read the story today of how the FBI has been hit with a weird virus that has caused them to need to shut down parts of their network. A friend of mine is in town this week and he works for the FBI so I mentioned it to him. He said they’re always getting people trying to hack into their systems or shut them down or any other number of actions against them.

It’s pretty obvious why that would be true. The FBI would be a huge target for people to try and crack right? The question is, how much of it is a malicious attack and how much of it is just someone trying to get bragging rights to say they were able to do it? My next question would be what should the penalties be for someone that’s caught trying to penetrate the security systems of the FBI? I’d say this is a pretty serious offense given the amount of classified information that the FBI has on and inside its network. The other side of challenge is that for all the time and resources that are spent trying to secure our systems from our own citizens, is that much less time and resources that the FBI has to focus on other, specific tasks and objectives.

If you heard someone bragging about hacking into the FBI’s systems. Would you report them?

What's On Your Computer

Visiting my in-laws for a bit and trying to check some email. As I’m doing some general browsing around the web I continue to get these quarter browser window pop ups. The question here is what’s the last thing that was downloaded and installed? There presents a challenge that has just arisen as well. When I went to the Control Panel to see what’s installed the installed programs list won’t even display all the way.

Looks like I’ll need to come back and run some applications to see what’s going on. This presents the question though. Do you know what’s on your computer? Do you have kids? Do you pay attention to what you’re even downloading and putting on your system? Do you install stuff just because a website or a friend or family member suggested it to you because it was “cool”.

Take a minute and look around your system. Check the Control Panel, browse through your Start Menu. If you don’t kow what it is or what it does or who put it there. I’d get rid of it.
