Facebook to alert if your account is being snooped on by the NSA

Nwo Report

New Delhi: This is one Facebook notification you truly would never want to receive.

The social networking giant has introduced a new feature that will alert users if their account is being snooped on by the US’ National Security Agency or such government-sponsored agents.

In a post, Alex Stamos, chief security officer at Facebook, notes that users’ account privacy is important to the company and thus, it continuously monitors malevolent activities and provides a multitude of options to safeguard user accounts.

To address this, users will be shown an additional warning if Facebook has a strong suspicion that an attack could be government-sponsored.

By showing these warnings, Stamos explains that they do not indicate any compromise of the Facebook platform or system. It may indicate that the user’s computer or mobile device has been infected with malware and miscreants might be taking advantage of it.

The notification is to help…

San Francisco: Facebook on Monday followed in Google’s footsteps and began warning users when it appears they are targeted by state-sponsored cyber attacks.

“Starting today, we will notify you if we believe your account has been targeted or compromised by an attacker suspected of working on behalf of a nation-state,” Facebook chief security officer Alex Stamos said in a blog post.

“We do this because these types of attacks tend to be more advanced and dangerous than others, and we strongly encourage affected people to take the actions necessary to secure all of their online accounts.”

Recommended security moves included rebuilding systems or even replacing computers believed to have been infected with what would likely be sophisticated malicious code.

Alerts from Facebook will include boxed messages urging targeted users…

Puppy Flung off Bridge in Sarajevo, Bosnia

IN MEMORY OF VUČKO

This is Precious. Two days ago, her rescuer, Fahrudin Caki Bravo, told us:

“This innocent soul is only 4 months old, but she has already had a horrible destiny so far… Some monster from Sarajevo threw her of a bridge, 7-8 meters high. She weighs only 5 kilos… The police was informed as this action was witnessed but the monster ran off and nobody could find him or this baby. Finally a lady found the puppy crawling down the street, in the middle of the pouring rain… Many people just walked by her while she was dragging the back of her body down the wet concrete. She was brought to the vet and received first aid and they also did an X-ray… She has a complicated back injury… Please help me save her. Her debt at the moment is 105e for boarding and 30e for the X-ray. She will also need…

Making your own Picture tweets…

They say, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” It’s true. Even the worst picture, whether grotesque or poorly taken, will capture your attention longer than mere words from a text. So, if you want what you have to say to get noticed, resonate with your audience, and be profound, you need to post it in some type of visual form.

Tell. Then breathe…

My biggest frustration on this journey has been my ignorance of technology. Second, would be the lack of information sharing. I’ll find a site that is too cool for words; I’m shaking with excitement as I tell a…
