The document provides guidance for students on protecting their privacy online. It outlines several steps students can take, including using a password manager to create unique passwords for all accounts; disabling GPS and Wi-Fi on mobile phones to prevent data tracking; being careful about what access privileges are given to apps; hiding personal details like date of birth and phone number on social media; and collaborating with others to demand stronger data protection regulations from companies and governments. The overall message is that students need to take proactive steps to secure their data as it faces risks of being collected, stolen or misused by large entities, other individuals, and hackers.

Target May Have Ignored Pre-breach Intrusion Warning

To recap, the retail giant saw 40 million credit card numbers – and
70 million addresses, phone numbers, and other pieces of
personal information – stolen by a widespread point-of-sale
(PoS) hack during the busy holiday shopping season, with credit
card info and other personal details lifted by the BlackPOS
malware that was somehow uploaded from a central server to
card-swiping terminals across the nation.
Target confirmed that the server itself was compromised by a
third party using stolen credentials, likely taken from Fazio Mechanical Services, a provider of refrigeration and
HVAC systems for retailers and other businesses. Fazio is thought to have fallen prey to a social engineering-based
email attack. A lack of proper network sequestration allowed the attackers to progress from there, researchers said.
New information, reported by BloombergBusinessweek, shows that there were actually fail-safe mechanisms in
place during these events – and, they actually worked. Earlier in 2013, Target had put in a $1.6 million malware
detection tool from FireEye, hooked in with its team of security specialists in Bangalore, India. That team was
tasked with monitoring for cybersecurity incidents around the clock, and on November 30th it noticed something
fishy. The data thieves were busy loading exfiltration malware into the Target system to siphon off the credit and
debit card information that they would gather – and the FireEye system found their footprint. before the attack
started.
Following protocol, a notification was sent to Target’s security operations center in Minneapolis warning of a possible
breach. And from there, the alert was simply ignored, according to the more than 18 insiders that Businessweek
spoke to. Those included data security specialists from within the company as well as law enforcement officials and
security specialists familiar with the situation.
No reason has yet emerged as to why the company may have stood idly by while massive amounts of sensitive
consumer information leached out of its systems. The company itself is sticking to its official statement, which points
out that Target was certified as meeting the standard for the payment card industry (PCI) in September 2013.
“Nonetheless, we suffered a data breach,” it said.
No kidding.
Researchers are noting that PCI compliance has always been seen as a shield for retailers when it comes to
security – but the Target breach has blown the doors off of that notion. “One thing PCI does is provide retailers with
a false sense of security,” said Allan Carey, vice president at PhishMe, in a blog. “Target and Neiman Marcus were
both certified as PCI-compliant. As an industry, it’s time for retailers to recognize that PCI compliance may be a
requirement, bu ...

54% Parents Worried About Cyber Bullying of
Kids: Norton Research

ProQuest document link
FULL TEXT
Norton by Symantec released findings from the 2016 Norton Cyber Security Insights Report: Family Edition, which
sheds light on parents' perceptions of cyberbullying and the preventative measures they are putting in place to
protect their children.
The report reveals that while 40 percent of Indian parents allowed their children to access the Internet before age
11, many had a wide range of concerns. For example, more than half (54 percent) of Indian parents believe their
children are more likely to be bullied online than on a playground.
"Children today face threats beyond physical violence or face-to-face encounters," said Ritesh Chopra, Country
Manager, Norton by Symantec. "Cyberbullying is a growing issue and parents are struggling to identify and
respond to this threat. A concern for many parents is that cyberbullying doesn't stop when their child leaves school
- as long as your child is connected to a device, a bully can connect to them."
In addition to cyberbullying, parents' chief concerns were that their children might:
* Download malicious programs or a virus (71 percent)
* Disclose too much personal information to strangers (69 percent)
* Be lured into meeting a stranger in the physical world (65 percent)
* Do something online that makes the whole family vulnerable (62 percent) or embarrassed (60 percent)
* Be lured into illegal activities like hacking (61 percent)
Parents Beginning to Step Up Family Cyber Security
The Norton Cyber Security Insights Report: Family Edition shows that Indian parents are starting to recognize how
damaging cyberbullying can be for children and are putting in place preventative measures. For example,
* 57 percent parents chose to check their child's browser history
* 46 percent only allow access to certain websites
* 48 percent allow Internet access only with parental supervision; 37percent review and approve all apps before
they are downloaded
* 36 percent enable Internet access only in household common areas
* 35 percent limit information their child can post on social profiles
One interesting finding from the survey is that parents from countries, who had the strictest preventative
measures in place also had the lowest incidence of cyberbullying. The survey also reveals that 7 percent of parents
fail to take any action to protect their children online.
Starting a Conversation
The Norton Cyber Security Insights Report indicates that only 17 percent of Indian parents reported their child was
cyberbullied. While on the surface, this may seem like cyberbullying is not a problem, the reality is that many
parents don't know how to recognize the signs of cyberbullying, so the problem is likely under-reported.
Additionally, many children choose to remain silent about cyberbullying due to a fear of ...

In a world where nobody reads privacy policies and IoT is creating a need for customers to constantly track who is monitoring them, companies need to be clear with users about the choices they’re making by sharing data. Privacy policies should be designed for trust, both in terms of content and UX.
This session covers the results of a 6-month design research project, including the key insights about how people think of their privacy and why, then delves into some prototypes that encourage greater understanding and acceptance of privacy policies. Imagine a future where everyone fully understands how their data is going to be used and agrees to share it as a result.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
