“China currently employs 40,000+ people to block content on the Internet.
Hope India is not going to go the China way”: Ankit Fadia

Hyderabad, January 31, 2012: Worried about the Indian government’s threat to block your favorite websites? Tired of your college, office & government blocking everything cool & fun on the Internet? Deprived of accessing Stock Websites, Facebook and You Tube Videos at work? Slow download speeds, download limits, no access to cricket scores & no chatting with friends, making Jack a dull boy? Cheer up as ANKIT FADIA’s latest book “How to Unblock Everything on the Internet” will show how to unblock just about everything on the Internet.

Published by Vikas Publishing House, the book is launched in Hyderabad today. After the launch Mr. Ankit Fadia gave a live demonstration on how to unblock websites, blogs, applications and content on the Internet. The stylishly packaged book shows people how to unblock everything on the Internet. It is priced at INR 150/- is now available at all bookstores across India and even before its official release has already sold more than 2000 copies online!

Freedom of speech and expression is the mortar that cements the bricks of democracy. Completely blocking websites on the Internet by the government is a step away from democracy. However, freedom of speech does not extend to the extreme scenario where it is okay for a miscreant to go into a crowded theater and shout ‘FIRE’! Such an act can harm or hurt the peace and wellbeing of others in the society. Hence it is important for the government and online platforms to join hands to efficiently work together to block the publishing of inflammatory content on the Internet.

However, pre-screening of Internet content or putting the complete liability, responsibility and blame on platforms is not very reasonable. After all, could you sue a mobile phone operator or the neighborhood post office if somebody were to send an obscene or offensive message using their communication medium? You can prosecute the individual who sent the message and not the communication medium that was used.

Speaking on the launch of his new book Ankit Fadia said “Banning or blocking websites on the Internet completely is not the answer and is a step away from democracy and could silence free speech all together. We need to find a middle ground which allows a more efficient mechanism to remove offensive content from the Internet without blocking access to websites completely. China currently employs 40,000+ people to block content on the Internet. Hope India is not going to go the China way”.

Written in an easy-to-understand do-it-yourself manner that just about everybody (both non-technical people and technical people) can understand, this book will teach you simple things you can do to unblock access to blocked stuff on the Internet including social networks (Facebook, Twitter), video streaming websites (YouTube, MetaCafe), Sports/Cricket websites, chat, career sites and just about everything else. If you are studying in a college, working for a company or travelling to a country that has blocked access to everything cool & fun on the Internet (like Facebook, YouTube, Chat and others), making your life miserably boring, this book is sure to come to your rescue. It contains over 50 different chapters and provides step by step processes that absolutely anybody can follow and is ably supported by screen shots as well.

The book “How to unblock everything on the net” will find a widespread audience not only in India but also amongst residents and visitors to countries like China and the Middle East (Iran, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya and others) where censorship is rampant and repressive.

Recipient of the prestigious National Telecom Awards 2011, for “Global Ambassador for Cyber Security” from Sachin Pilot (Minister of State in the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology) a, Ankit Fadia is a globally respected voice on cyber terrorism. Ankit Fadia was also recently selected by the World Economic Forum as a Global Shaper for his achievements at such a young age.

He further added “It is about time that governments start looking at platforms like social media and search as assets and not as enemies. After the Devastating Earthquake in Japan in 2011, Google immediately launched a People Finder website which allowed people to upload pictures & post information about missing people & share it with others and actually managed to help people locate their missing loved ones. The Haiti Earthquake generated more than 17 million tweets alone creating much needed global awareness, aid and help from all corners of the globe in a matter of a few hours. Would you really want to block such lifesaving mediums?”.

Commenting on the launch of the book, Mr. Piyush Chawla, Director, Vikas Publishing Pvt. Ltd. The publisher of the book said “Kudos to Ankit for showing the way to having unrestricted access to legal content on the Internet. A TRUE-VALUE book!”

SEO professionals utilize both on page and off page optimization methods to achieve better search engine rankings for a website over all major search engines.

On-page optimization refers to tools that work with your website to make it search engine friendly such as keywords & niche research, meta tags, competitor analysis, domain name selection, page design & structure and content optimization. While, off- page optimization is a combination of tools used outside your website such as creation of back links through social media such as directories, blog comments, forum posts etc. On page optimization focuses on making your website search engine friendly while off page optimization tools focus upon enhancing significance of your website for other websites, users and search engines.

Mr. Nitin Agarwal said, “Christmas holidays is a crucial time for every business to increase its revenues. Our innovative SEO packages offer complete on-page and off-page search engine optimization plus extensive online reputation management techniques to bring better rankings and higher revenues for our clients’ businesses through search engine marketing.”

80% of Mistyped URLs Lead to Typosquatting Sites – Sophos study

Study investigates every possible one-character typo of Facebook, Google, Twitter, Microsoft, Apple and Sophos homepage 

MUMBAI / BANGALORE, India – December 19, 2011 

IT security and control firm,Sophos,is cautioning computer users to be careful while typing the URLs, following the results of a Sophos study into the scale of ‘Typosquatting’.

Typosquatters register misspellings of popular websites in the hope that they will be able to make money out of traffic from unintentional typing mistakes made by internet surfers. Sophos looked at typosquatting targeting its own website and those of Facebook, Google, Twitter, Microsoft and Apple. The study looked for registered websites for every single one letter typo of the company name: one letter omitted (eg Sopos), one letter mistyped (eg Sphos), or one letter added (Ssophos).

The study revealed that there is a significant typosquatting ecosystem around high-profile, often-typed domain names. A huge 86% of the possible one letter misspellings of the Apple homepage led to typosquatting sites.

The highest proportion of the squatting sites – 15% – led to advertising sites. Cybercriminals will register misspelled sites to make advertising revenue every time someone mistypes the name of a popular site. 12% were found to be IT & hosting pages – suggesting that they have been registered with the intention of being held onto and sold at a profit, which is also known as ‘domain parking’. Of the 14,495 misspelled URLs looked at in the study, 738 (5.1%) were categorized by Sophos as cybercrime or adult. The former should always be blocked; the latter should be blocked at least in the workplace or around children.

“It’s so easy to mistype a URL, and it’s inevitable that from time to time you will end up on an unintended website. In the worst cases, careless typing can lead you to a criminal website designed to steal your identity or phish your credentials,” said Graham Cluley, Senior Technology Consultant at Sophos. “A good idea is to bookmark your favorite websites rather than rely upon your fingers working correctly.”

The workshop aims at training participants through practical sessions on how to use Social Media tools such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn from marketing perspective for social media business. The two-day workshop focuses on personal and professional brand building.

The workshop will be conducted by Mr. Sorav Jain, Thinker in Chief of EchoVME and Mr. Ramesh kumar, Social Media Strategist of EchoVME, an expert in Digital and Social Media Marketing. Mr. Sorav Jain was also one of the organizers of India Search 2010, Social Summit 2010 and Social Media team for TiECON Chennai 2010. He recently spoke at CII – epublishing. Sorav is a Social Media columnist for a magazine of Srilanka and has been a guest speaker at Greatlakes, LIBA, JICM. He teaches Social Media Marketing and Personal Branding at Madras Advertising Club.

Anyone interested and wants to learn on how to leverage Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, for effective brand and marketing communication can attend this workshop. One of our participants have voiced out their experience of our previous workshops: “I was part of the first SocialMe Workshop conducted by ECHOVME. It was an informative and interactive session – with an excellent combination of visual & audio learning tools, case study discussions and a dynamic audience.

MUMBAI / BANGALORE, India – October 21, 2011 

IT security and data protection firm, Sophos, is warning of a malicious email attack, one of the first to capitalize on the death of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.  The scam poses as pictures of Gaddafi’s body, tricking users into believing the email comes from the AFP news agency and has been forwarded by a fellow internet user.  In reality, opening the attached file on a Windows computer puts PCs at risk of malware infection.

A typical message is:

Subject: “Fw: AFP Photo News: Bloody Photos: Libya dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s Death”

Message body:

“Libya dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s Death

Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, the most wanted man in the world, has been killed, the country’s rebel government claimed Oct. 20. The flamboyant tyrant who terrorized his country and much of the world during his 42 years of despotic rule was cornered by insurgents in the town of Sirte, where Gadhafi had been born and a stronghold of his supporters.”

“The death of Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi has almost inevitably resulted in cybercriminals taking advantage of the news story, and the general public’s seeming interest in viewing ghoulish photos and videos of his last moments,” said Graham Cluley, Senior Technology Consultant at Sophos.  ”As unlikely as the legitimacy of these emails may seem – in this case, the latest photos being forwarded to you in an email attachment – the news is often just too interesting for people to ignore.  Internet users need to be sensible when it comes to a top news story, and not throw their security suspicions regarding links and unsolicited attachments out the window, in search of the latest revelations or shocking images.”

Ahmedabad, India; September 16th 2011: Infibeam has come out with a delight for Chrome users. Infibeam recently launched a MagicBox Deals Application on Google Chrome webstore. Through this application, chrome users can access exclusive MagicBox Deals from Infibeam.com directly from their browser tab.

To add an element of surprise where a user gets 3 chances to reveal 3 of 8 products at a time using The Magic Stick. The 8 products are also selected randomly. Once a user opens 3 boxes he is not allowed to open any more boxes. While he may again open the app – but deals are randomly generated by Infibeam.com in real-time. Deals once opened will not be repeated. Each of these deals is exclusive to Google Chrome users and cannot be accessed from any other browser.

MagicBox products are carefully selected by a special team of merchandisers who look at user buying patterns, preferences, seasonality, new launches and price while selecting those deals. Each deal is handpicked and therefore is extremely relevant to users today.

Commenting on the launch Manu Midha, VP, Infibeam mentioned, “MagicBox Deals is an extremely popular and a successful concept, it has received an overwhelming response from customers on Infibeam.com. It feels great to have so many satisfied customers. Also Google Chrome is growing in the browser market. Today more than 25% of traffic on our website comes from Google Chrome. It is one of the most popular browser and keeping this in mind, we thought of launching an app exclusively for Chrome users.”

Infibeam has been at the forefront of innovation in e-commerce, retail and technology. It is one of the largest electronic retailers in the country and also powers many other stores to sell on its technology platform.

MUMBAI / BANGALORE, India – September 6, 2011

IT security and data protection firm, Sophos, has made a video demonstrating how easy it is to hijack a Facebook ‘Page’, due to a loop hole in the social network’s settings.

Facebook Pages are an important part of many business’s marketing activities. Brands such as Coca-Cola, Victoria’s Secret and Starbucks have millions of Facebook fans signed-up to their Pages. Anyone can create a Facebook Page, and popular Pages will likely require a number of additional co-administrators to help run it.

While the onus is on Facebook Page creators to be careful about who they grant admin access to, it is possible for newly appointed administrators to hijack the Page, removing the original creator’s admin rights – effectively taking permanent control of the Page.

Facebook’s own help pages state that “the original creator of the Page may never be removed by other Page admins”, however a video from Sophos proves that this is not the case:

“There are two issues here. Even if a trusted friend or colleague is working as an administrator on a Facebook Page, it is possible that their account may be compromised, giving the bad guys a chance to hijack the Facebook Page you’ve created,” said Graham Cluley, Senior Technology Consultant atSophos. “The other possibility is that the Page founder grants a stranger admin rights to the Page. While this might not sound like the best idea, there are several services, such as Fiverr, where you can find plenty of people offering to help you to maximize the success of your Facebook Page.”

“If you give a cut-price ‘social media expert’ admin rights to your Facebook Page, you really only have yourself to blame if you’re ousted,” continued Cluley.  ”However, the question is – why can’t Facebook do what its help pages say it will do – either block attempts to remove the original admin,

or send a request to the original admin asking if they agree to be removed from their administrator role.  That would surely help prevent hijacks like this taking place.”
