FACEBOOK --- The Social Networking Site

                        Today Facebook is the number 1 social networking site.Many of the members who use it are of the age group between 15 to 50 years.The most interesting thing is that the old people are also preferring to chat on facebook.It has become a part in our daily life.Today many people think that facebook is causing an immense harm to the society as well as to the interpersonal relationships.But it is not correct .According to my view any social networking sites that are playing key role in our life must be used in a harmless way.Today these sites are helping many disabled persons to carry out their treatment by providing them sufficient funds.Many good organizations use facebook or others to help the poor and needy people.



                     But there are some disadvantages in them.Many people use it as a net to capture young women and teenage girls.Some people might hack others accounts and publish abusive posts in the name of others.This brings a bad name to the particular user.So we should be aware of that.Some people are also getting addicted to it very much.This is leading to the disturbances in their married life and imbalances in the student's life.Recently a women being severely addicted to facebook left her child without givinng food.That resulted in the death of the child.



                      So I believe that we should encourage these sites to a certain limit.They are laid just for our entertainment but they are not the only life.So please my dear people , please control this virtual disease.

Google Android vulnerable to malicious application

This is in fact the first such app found on Android and it comes in the guise of the popular Madden NFL 12 game.

Kaspersky's Mobile security researcher Denis Maslennikov has found
a malicious application that affects Android smartphones. The app is
actually an Internet Relay Chat bot that runs automated tasks over the
internet. This is in fact the first such app found on Android and it
comes in the guise of the popular Madden NFL 12 game.



When an Android smartphone user downloads and installs the popular
game or application from lesser-known third party app stores, the IRC
bot quietly gets installed in the device.

Maslennikov explains that after the app is installed, the malware,
disguised as Madden NFL 12, aims to take complete control of the device.
Once the malware gets root (administrator level) access, the IRC bot
gets installed along with an SMS
Trojan. The root access allows the attacker to control the smartphone
remotely and send an SMS to a premium rate number and thereby increase
cost for the user.

All this is in the background and the user has no clue of what is
happening to the credit balance. The premium rate numbers are usually
international numbers, hence SMSes to these numbers cost a lot.

The IRC bot connects to any random remote IRC server with a random
nickname. Once connected, the IRC bot becomes capable of receiving shell
commands to perform specific functions on the device. In this entire
attack, the malicious app needs to gain root access to perform nefarious
tasks. If your device is not rooted, or if it is rooted through proper
methods, there is nothing to worry about.

As always, users are recommended to download apps only from reputed
and verified app stores such as Android Market, Amazon App Store and
Getjar. Applications from an unknown location can prove to be dangerous.

Needless to say, this premise depends on one thing — if the phone is
rooted and that with an outdated code. Unless you are an advanced user
we recommend not rooting the smartphone© 2010-2012 The Little Ganesha® All Rights Reserved.
