National program for Cyber army to be launched in India

ncreasing attacks on cyberspace in India has brought several professionals and experts from the Industry, in support with the Government of India to jointly form a national level program to identify credible and valuable information security experts. The program "National Security Database" is all set to launch this Saturday in Mumbai at a major Information security conference, MalCon. The database will include ethical hackers and programmers who can protect country’s cyberspace. They will all be registered with the National Security Database, a brainchild of Information Sharing and Analysis Centre (ISAC), a non profit foundation which works closely with the Government on the issue of cyber security. The need of such database originated after 2008 attacks in Mumbai when the cyber security professionals realised that a lot needed to be done in the area.

Facial Recognition Technology In Google+

One of the fastest growing social network Google Plus adds more facilities. The fastest growing social network, Google Plus, keeps improving its arsenal in the battle with rivals like Facebook and Twitter. Google’s newest heavy weapon is: face detection. This technology allows users to tag the photos quicker and easier than before, without manually entering the identity for individual pictures. When the user decides to publish an entire photo album, the new face detection feature will display in one place all the faces found in that album. Later on, grouping photos according to the persons that appear in them will be much easier and then tag them with the name and the email will be made with just a few keystrokes. Users can access this new feature from three different places. One way is to create an album from the sharebox or to add photos to an existing album. Once the upload is complete, Google will recognize the faces and the tagging feature will appear. Another way is to

Ultrabooks Get Ready for Their Close-Up at CES 2012

If 2011 was the year of the tablet, 2012 may well be the year of the  Ultrabook . Up to 50 new models of the extremely thin, lightweight laptops are going to be unveiled at the  Consumer Electronics Show  (CES) in January, one of the show organizers said. At a CES event in London, Shawn DuBravac, director of research at the Consumer Electronics Association, said he was expecting a torrent of Ultrabooks to make a splash at the show. “We expect to see 30 to 50 new Ultrabooks launched at CES,” DuBravac said, according to  PC Pro . Intel CEO Paul Otellini is scheduled to give a keynote at the show, where he’s expected to announce the official launch of the company’s “Ivy Bridge” processors. These chips employ Intel’s much-hyped Tri-Gate transistor technology to reduce power consumption while improving performance. Intel showed off some prototype Ivy Bridge Ultrabooks at its developer conference in September, and we believe most of the models launching at CES will pack the new c

Hacker Group Anonymous Aims To Destroy Facebook on Nov. 5

Hackivist group Anonymous vows to “kill Facebook” on November 5, citing users’ lack of choice in privacy as its reason for attack. Update:  Anonymous confirmed via a tweet that while some of its members are organizing the upcoming attack against Facebook, the hacker organization as a whole does not necessarily agree with the attack. The group of hackers has claimed participation in just about every recent notable hacking attack of this year and successfully broke into 70 law enforcement websites and took down the Syrian Ministry of Defense website this week alone. This recent interest in Facebook, despite a slew of privacy concerns raised against the social network since its founding, may be a result of Anonymous’s recent announcement that it plans to create its own social network, called AnonPlus. After the group’s Google+ account, called “Your Anon News,” was banned, it began fleshing out AnonPlus.com, “a new social network where there is no fear … of censorship … of black
