Youth cybercrime ... all about friends' influence?A quick burst of 9 links for you to chew over, as picked by the Technology team
Showing you how SQL injection is spotted and what tools are used to get it done. The lack of response from the fashion site is concerning, though: this is someone who tried to do all the right things (no customer data leak, advising the site privately).
"Mr Jobs has been described in the past as Apple's best marketing tool. Today's announcement shows that he hasn't lost his ability to steal the headlines.
"Here are some of the stories which would have been interesting news today, if Stevey J hadn't sent that letter to the Apple board."
Your catchup-on-the-catchup service.
Linked by Oxblood Ruffin (see link lower): "Peer influence and low self-control appear to be the major factors fueling juvenile cybercrime such as computer hacking and online bullying, according to a new study led by a Michigan State University criminologist.
"Thomas Holt, assistant professor of criminal justice, said the findings reinforce the need for parents to be more aware of their children's friends and Internet activities."
Quad-core! Great. We think there may be more unreleased Windows slates than ones actually on the market.
"After 14 years and over 15,000 stories posted, it's finally time for me to say Good-Bye to Slashdot. I created this place with my best friends in a run down house while still in college. Since then it has grown to be read by more than a million people, and has served Billions and Billions of Pages (yes, in my head I hear the voice). During my tenure I have done my best to keep Slashdot firmly grounded in its origins, but now it's time for someone else to come aboard and find the 'future'."
Crap. Steve Jobs, OK, but CmrdTaco? (Still, outlasted Digg in usefulness, huh, Rob?)
Note source. But - sharp as a knife.
"Data theft is arguably the game changer.
"DDoSing or web defacements are one thing. Breaking into government and commercial networks is another. Already the clouds are forming. The Danish police wish to ban all anonymous use of the internet. The Indian Government wants real-time monitoring of Twitter, Facebook, and Skype. The OECD is seeking tighter regulatory control of the internet. And the United Kingdom is seeking stricter laws to deal with cybercrime.
"While it would be unfair to say that Anonymous is completely responsible for these reactions, it's certainly part of the problem. And when the whip comes down - and come down it will - Anonymous will have to accept part of the blame when online privacy rights are scaled back even further.
"Hacktivism, real hacktivism, has always managed to get things done without upsetting the apple cart. And even though Anonymous is more decentralised than traditional hacktivist models there's no reason why it can't muster more discipline."
In 1972, Jobs offered the first Apple prototype PC to HP. In a rainy August 39 years later...
