              &lt;figcaption&gt;mobile-app-development&lt;/figcaption&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With mobile phone users and devices reaching to billions, the businesses are focusing on building robust mobile apps with great UX and UI. According to research, nearly 179 billion mobile apps are downloaded per year. The &lt;a href="https://www.elsner.com.au/services/mobile-app-development/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mobile App Development&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; sector is thriving with gaming apps; Social Media apps like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube; Google Apps, business apps like Amazon, Walmart, etc. Even SMEs are not far behind as they are also using the mobile apps for better user engagement, branding, retail marketing, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let us now see some of the significant challenges and trends in the mobile application development.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Challenges in the Mobile App Development&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;The prevailing competition amongst the Smartphone providers has made them improve their apps continuously. The software companies need to develop such softwares to support mobile apps that need much time and efforts on part of the professionals.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;There is no availability of the unified apps and the software developers design only fragmented apps.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;The different Smartphones do not possess the same OS so many apps that are in great demand needs to be removed.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;The time-consuming process starts when the developers have to test their apps against distinct OS versions so that their app works on different mobile devices.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Automated testing is limited for the native apps.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Latest Trends in the Mobile App Development&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the increased challenges, the designers and developers are carrying out research to provide a seamless user experience to the mobile device users. For this, there are many significant trends introduced by the mobile industry that will predict the future of the &lt;a href="https://www.elsner.com.au/services/android-app-development/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Android App Development&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and iPhone app development.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. The Growth of IoT (Internet of Things):&lt;/strong&gt; The use of Artificial Intelligence is going to grow in the year 2018. The machine learning, image recognition, natural language processing, deep learning, and neural network drive decision-making, etc. is going to trend this year. The mobile apps will be integrated with the IoT feature to provide a flawless experience to hotels, retail business houses, automakers, etc. The customized IoT applications will make their place with this market reaching $267 billion by the year 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Cloud-based Mobile Apps will make a Difference:&lt;/strong&gt; The Cloud Computing has created waves in the companies, and now it collaborates with the mobile apps. This technology will enable the mobile apps to fetch the data directly from the cloud space and lessens the memory space on the mobile phones. The Mobile Cloud traffic is stated to be growing at a rate of 60%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Security in App Development:&lt;/strong&gt; Nowadays, developers focus more on security during the Android app development and &lt;a href="https://www.elsner.com.au/services/iphone-app-development/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;iPhone App Development&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. According to a study, 75% of the mobile apps cannot pass the basic security testing. The testers have found basic concerns during the secuity tests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Leakage of System Information&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Insecure Storage data&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Violation of the Privacy Policy&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Insecure Deployment&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Misusing the mobile related data&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To cater to these issues, JavaScript framework can help in the development of the scalable and secured mobile applications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Increase in the M-Commerce:&lt;/strong&gt; The online selling has taken a forefront with maximum people possessing the Smartphones and the iPhones. Many users are opting to M-Commerce, which means that the app development companies need to design workable apps for the business houses. The increased usage of the Google Wallet and Apple Pay will facilitate the in-app payment process too. The wearable devices will also support the customer loyalty and the mobile payments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. The Inclusion of the Location-Based Apps:&lt;/strong&gt; With Google My Business listing and Google Maps helping users to find the best local store near their location, the customers prefer location-based apps. By using the location-based mobile apps, the customers will be able to trace out the store, a good restaurant, grocery store, etc. with just one click. They can see the reviews, and even few stores have cited the closing and opening timings too with business’s images.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The future of mobile app development is excellent. Modern tools are available for app developers and designers to provide great app experience. By working on the challenges posed in this sector, the companies can design magnificent business apps.&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">Okay, this is really weird and I can't find any info about it on Google (and I don't know what terms I should search anyway).  For the past two days whenever I try to watch a video on YouTube in fullscreen, it just puts the video in the upper-left corner of the screen and makes the rest of the screen black, like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/mystical_chickn/8891297/46776/46776_900.jpg" alt="youtubefullscreenglitch" title="youtubefullscreenglitch" width="900" height="562" fetchpriority="high" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's really weird because fullscreen videos worked perfectly fine until yesterday morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Googling "youtube won't play fullscreen videos" just gets me advice for what to do if the screen is completely black (or white) which isn't the problem I have.  (I did try that advice anyway--which was basically to uncheck the hardware acceleration box in Settings after right-clicking the video--and it didn't help)  Also tried doing a CClean and that didn't help either.  I can't think of what else I should try for this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using Google Chrome on Windows Vista, HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop.</content>

    <content type="html">Okay, I&amp;#39;m at wit&amp;#39;s end here. This has been happening for the past three weeks or so. I haven&amp;#39;t changed anything and even going back to a restore point from before this doesn&amp;#39;t help. Every so often when I select something from a drop down menu using my mouse, doesn&amp;#39;t matter what program, which monitor I use (I run two. The native 19&amp;quot; laptop monitor at 1920x1080, and a 27&amp;quot; LCD TV/Monitor at 1360x768 set as primary) and doesn&amp;#39;t matter how little or how long the computer&amp;#39;s on; whatever I select stays selected like you see in the picture, and every program that runs after this happens and before I clear it sits underneath the selection. The ONLY way I found that fixes it (aside from rebooting) is to mess with my display settings so the screens have to reorient themselves. I would try googling this, but what would I google? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="WTF" height="504" src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/magickira/7285756/141653/141653_900.png" title="WTF" width="900" fetchpriority="high" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asus N90Sv laptop running Windows 7 Home Edition Premium 64 bit; Intel Core2 Duo CPU @2.8GHz; 4GB RAM; NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M; and two 600GB HD. It is about 4 years old and will be getting replaced in about a yearish if finances hold out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a thank you for this, I present Jonas Armstrong as Robin Hood (one of my many revolving desktop pics)&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <title>vista not starting. bsod at startup, probably my fault</title>
    <published>2013-01-27T05:33:03Z</published>
    <updated>2013-01-31T11:04:37Z</updated>
    <content type="html">ugh, I hate having to post here again so soon but I'm having another problem.  I had scheduled a CHKDSK last night for the next time my computer was booted up.  Turned it on about two hours ago and the startup screens came on fine but CHKDSK didn't start, instead it was just a black screen (monitor off completely, seemingly--similar to the problem I had last time).  I waited about 8-10 minutes for CHKDSK to start but it never did and nothing else happened either.  After about 15-20 minutes I did a hard shutdown, which was probably a Huge Mistake, because Vista bluescreened at startup (can't remember error message, sorry) and the computer restarted.  Got the "Windows did not start correctly" error screen.  Did startup repair, upon finishing laptop restarted and I got the Windows startup error again.  Did ANOTHER startup repair.  This time when it restarted after finishing, bootup screens displayed fine but now I've got a black monitor again (been about 30 mins), and the Caps Lock light doesn't turn on when I press that button.  I'm scared to turn the laptop off again since I'm pretty sure that's what got me into this trouble in the first place (either that, or scheduling the CHKDSK run).  Also I can't seem to boot into Safe Mode, F8 doesn't do anything when I tap it during startup.  I don't have any recovery disks or anything either.  Using Vista sp...2, I believe, 32 bit.  Laptop is HP Pavilion DV6000.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Posted via &lt;a href="http://m.livejournal.com/link" target="_blank"&gt;m.livejournal.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDIT: After trying about half a dozen+ "fixes" which didn't work, I finally had to reformat/recover Vista.  Luckily I've only had this laptop for about a month so I didn't have much stuff on there, and I was successfully able to back up everything on my external HDD.  Reformat/recover worked, I haven't had any issues with this computer since then (did it on the 27th I think).</content>

    <content type="html">Hi guys. I'm pretty much at my wits end. I got this refurbished Gateway computer a few months ago, and right away it had issues. For one thing, it would not turn on AT ALL..and I couldn't figure out why. Until I reinstalled the RAM. Then things were fine until recently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Question/Problem:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first few months were great..like any PC/human relationship, but then things went south. Now it shuts itself off automatically without warning. And I don't mean shutting down or giving me the BSOD. I could be doing anything really. It mostly happens when I'm surfing the web on Firefox. But when it's idle it doesn't shut off much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Operating System, Version and Service Pack: &lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Windows XP Professional Service pack 2.&lt;br /&gt;Intel&lt;br /&gt;Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz&lt;br /&gt;2.79 GHz, 1.98 GB RAM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web Browser and Version&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;Firefox 18..although I don't think this matters&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your level of experience&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;between seasoned and expert&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;When did the problem start? Has it been going on constantly since then?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A few months ago. It's getting more frequent. At least 5 times per day. My computer can't be on for more than 3 hours until it shuts off..unless it's idle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Any steps you've taken to troubleshoot?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, lots. virus scanning..turned up nothing. "last known good configuration"..nada. system restore..didn't do squat. reinstalled the RAM..nothing. letting it cool down..nope! updated the display driver..negative. i'm not sure what else i can do. i don't think reinstalling windows would do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you are receiving an error message, please include the entire text of the message.&lt;/b&gt;: n/a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;please...i beg of you..HELP!! :(</content>

    <title>HP DV6000 monitor issue</title>
    <published>2013-01-06T06:37:07Z</published>
    <updated>2013-01-06T09:01:30Z</updated>
    <content type="html">(posting from Wii internet) I got a used HP DV6000 for Christmas and yesterday I was playing a FB game on it when it suddenly froze/crashed and I had to do a forced shutdown.  When I turned it back on, it seemed to boot up normally (the monitor was on at this time) but right after it booted up, the monitor turned off completely and would not turn back on.  After five minutes of waiting I turned it off, tried again, still nothing.  On my third try, I hit F10 and was able to get into Setup mode, but I couldn't find anything there that seemed relevant.  So I went online on the Wii to search for a solution. A few people said to cycle through the monitor button (which I THINK is F4) on the keyboard a few times.  So I did that and--it worked (although this might have been due to going into Setup)!  No issues with the monitor, at least last night.  Tonight when I booted up--same problem, seems fine until after bootup screen then nothing.  And the F4 trick is no longer working, nor is another one I found, which was to unplug, take out battery, hold down power button, then put everything back &amp; turn on.  I can, however, still access Setup so right now I'm doing a hard disk diagnostics test to see if anything's wrong there.  Using Vista Home Premium.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Posted via &lt;a href="http://m.livejournal.com/link" target="_blank"&gt;m.livejournal.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;edit: FINALLY got it to boot up by forcing it to go into whatever that screen is called where it says Windows didn't boot up correctly (by turning it off as it was booting up--which I know is probably A Bad Thing but seriously I was desperate by this point), then doing a startup repair.  Monitor is on now, obviously, but I don't know if this is a permanent fix or not.</content>

    <content type="html">Hi!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm experiences problems loading livejournal.com (any other page is working!) via my wireless modem - I'm connected via my phone's 3G hotspot now, which is working just fine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've spent the last half hour on the phone with tech support, but they can't figure it out either - my roommate can't access it on his computer, I can't access it on my phone when connected to the wireless. I've tried rebooting everything, nothing helped. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strangely enough I can access &lt;a target='_blank' href='https://www.livejournal.com/login.bml'&gt;https://www.livejournal.com/login.bml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm on a Mac, OSX 10.6.8, using Chrome (have tried Safari, Firefox and an ancient version of IE for Mac, and Safari and Cabmobile on my phone). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone have a clue? The prospect of never being able to use LJ normally again makes me very sadface :/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks in advance!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ETA: Accessing it via anonymouse.org works as well. IP problem?</content>

    <title>Laptop not charging</title>

    <content type="html">So, all of a sudden my laptop (Dell Latitude D800)'s AC adapter decided that it didn't feel like powering the computer anymore, and it's running on battery power right now.  The little green light on the adapter is on, but it's not delivering power to the laptop and the battery isn't charging.  It's at 75% right now and I've got just over two hours left (although I can check email on my Wii if I don't get an answer within that time), so is there an easy way to tell if it's the adapter, or the connector pins, or the laptop itself?  Everything's plugged in to where it should be, and I even unplugged everything and plugged it back in and jiggled the plug that goes into the back of the laptop but nothing happened.&lt;br /&gt;EDIT from Wii:  Okay, I ran a diagnostics test and I got error code 3600:0122 for the charger, and it said it wasn't connected even though it definitely was.  Does this mean it's the connector pins?</content>

    <content type="html">My computer information:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intel Core i5 CPU 750 2.67ghz x4&lt;br /&gt;8 gigs ram&lt;br /&gt;Windows 7 64 bit&lt;br /&gt;ATI Radeon HD 4600 series(graphics card)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm not sure what exactly is going on. I tried playing Civ 5 today and the graphics were a bit off. SWTOR's graphics were also off. Plus my desktop display is slightly bigger than it should be. Text seems a bit off in various things as well. And videos viewed on netflix are less clear. This happened today. I haven't downloaded any files or changed any settings. Not 100% sure if anything updated, but maybe adobe flash player? But would that affect everything else? I mention this because under control panel - system and security adobe flash player is labeled 32bit, not 64bit which my computer is running. Under control panel - system and security - system, the information says its running a 64 bit operating system. Shrug.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far I've tried adjusting the resolution, restarting my computer, reinstalling the graphics card drivers, and uninstalling the graphics card drivers and reinstalling them. This obviously has not worked. The drivers are the latest available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there a way for the computer to auto-detect the best settings for your computer(in case mine somehow got off?) Maybe a program I can download to do this or something that already comes with the operating system? Any other suggestions or ideas?</content>

    <content type="html">Do I need a software firewall in addition to a hardware (wireless router) firewall? The reason I ask is that I've been trying to configure lauded firewall Comodo off-and-on all weekend (so that it gets along with other applications), but with limited success. Previously, I used Zone Alarm as software firewall, but it was causing my whole computer to slow down given various circumstances. Since installing Comodo, it has blocked zero intrusions which means that either it's junk (which doesn't seem likely, given how often it's recommended on various sites) or that my wireless router is doing its job. Thoughts? Thanks.</content>

I can find all kinds of google results that say you can do it, but none really say HOW. Do I need some sort of add on, like Firefox? Google is giving me the impression that I don't, but I could be wrong. There is no MHTML option in the save window's drop down menu. *so confused* I save web pages quite often, so it's pretty important that I figure this out. =/</content>

It still works fine. Windows sees it and files move to and from it with no problem. But it used to be that when I opened up My Computer I would see a little picture of the Seagate drive instead of the generic hard drive picture I see now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not really that big of a deal but I want that little picture back. I was wondering if anyone reading this might have one of these drives and be able to send me copies of those files? Thanks for reading this, in any case.</content>

I got the windows recovery virus on my computer (right after finishing a ten page paper no less), and I managed to get rid of it by rebooting in safe mode and using malwarebytes. After I got rid of it I realized the virus had managed to hide all of my programs and files to make it look like my computer had been completely wiped.&lt;br /&gt;I used the unhide program and it worked for everything except the start menu, which is showing all my program files as "empty".&lt;br /&gt;From what I've seen on different forums, the virus has hidden them all in a temp folder, I just have no idea how to restore them. Any suggestions?&lt;br /&gt;Thanks so much for your help!</content>

    <updated>2011-05-11T10:32:03Z</updated>
    <content type="html">Hello, I've recently been dealing with computer trouble, and now that I'm past the worst of it, I've come to ask about something that's making me nutty: my display settings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Problem in a nutshell:&lt;/b&gt; My programs (e.g. Internet Explorer, iTunes, Microsoft Word) don't seem to want to follow my designated screen resolution of 1024 by 768.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;OS:&lt;/b&gt; Windows XP SP3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web Browser:&lt;/b&gt; Internet Explorer 7 (I prefer it to the newer versions.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Level of Experience:&lt;/b&gt; Probably easiest to say beginner&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Problem:&lt;/b&gt; Because I unfortunately was victim of a rootkit a few weeks ago, my computer had to be wiped, and Windows was reinstalled. Since I got it back today, I've been building my computer to how it was before the virus, but my display settings are all off. I have a wide screen, and my default resolution before the virus was 1024 by 768 (I like it that way), so I restored it to that resolution. While I've taken pains to make my desktop look somewhat normal, my programs (e.g. Internet Explorer, iTunes) look rather larger and wider than they should in their screens. This is thoroughly annoying in Internet Explorer especially, since I don't like using full screen view (I don't use full screen for any programs). How do I get my programs (my desktop doesn't really seem to want to cooperate, either) to view normally?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Troubleshooting?&lt;/b&gt; -I messed with the space between my icons in the appearance section of the Display Properties, but this only affected the desktop. The toolbar at the bottom of my desktop still looks odd.&lt;br /&gt;-I tried zooming in and out in Internet Explorer; didn't solve anything.&lt;br /&gt;-I tried changing my dpi in the Display Properties, but to no avail.&lt;br /&gt;-I've searched google several times but have found no help for this sort of problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just for references, I'll include before and after screenshots from my display:&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v306/theweirdbat/?action=view&amp;amp;current=before.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/theweirdbat/th_before.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" fetchpriority="high"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is basically how my computer looked before it broke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v306/theweirdbat/?action=view&amp;amp;current=after.png" target="_blank" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/theweirdbat/th_after.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket" loading="lazy"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is how my computer looks now: bloated toolbar and super wide IE page--the same facebook page takes up much more room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This problem isn't dire, but it's MADDENING. If anyone has good ideas how to solve this, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;x-posting to &lt;span  class="ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-C     "  data-ljuser="computerhelp" lj:user="computerhelp" &gt;&lt;a href="https://computerhelp.livejournal.com/profile/"  target="_self"  class="i-ljuser-profile" &gt;&lt;img  class="i-ljuser-userhead"  src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/community.png?v=556&amp;v=924" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://computerhelp.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username"   target="_self"   &gt;&lt;b&gt;computerhelp&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;img src="https://i.imgur.com/O0gqW.png" title="" fetchpriority="high"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Сотни форумов кишат подобными вопросами. Казалось бы, пользователям сети должно быть хорошо известно, что наиболее опасные сайты в плане возможности подцепить компьютерный вирус — именно порносайты.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Один из экспертов IT-безопасности объясняет причину: &lt;i&gt;«У вас российский IP-адрес. И в операционной системе (Windows, как правило) — русский язык. Некоторые компании закрывают свои сайты от России потому, что русские все равно не платят, только засоряют траффик. Поэтому при попытке захода на сайт вас переадресуют на специальный скрипт, который гонит вас дальше, например, на биржу траффика, а далее уже скрипт думает, как вас использовать. Заражают вирусом, чтобы потом можно было использовать компьютер для атак на сайты, для перебора паролей, использовать как прокси и т. д.»&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Помимо этого, adult-сайты по интернет-статистике — лидеры посещаемости. Естественно, что они стали наиболее удобным местом для размещения вирусов. И вот здесь как раз «халявщики» из России интересуют сетевых мошенников меньше всего. Ведь основной интерес представляют пароли к платежным системам и банковским счетам. Тут ловят пользователей из развитых стран. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Руководитель отдела информационной безопасности известной московской корпорации: &lt;i&gt;«Два года назад я с двумя приятелями создал «платник». Учитывая высокую конкуренцию, выбрали для себя достаточно узкую и специфическую нишу — «золотой дождь». Захостились на «левом» хостинге, наполнили сайт дешевым контентом. Что-то мы даже заработали на показах, но основная наша задача была — выяснение логина и пароля абонента к системе PayPal»&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;На этом «платнике» потенциальному клиенту предлагалось перевести деньги в системе PayPal, хотя даже договора с этой системой у владельцев сайта не было. Желающий оплатить клиент якобы переадресовывался на сайт РауРаl, а на самом деле вводил свой логин и пароль в окно, сгенерированное мошенниками (это даже вирусом не назовешь, это — типичный «фишинг»). После получения всех необходимых данных, клиенту сообщали о том, что произошел сбой, система временно не работает, и ему предлагалось уже реально оплатить услугу кредиткой. Вывести деньги из PayPal в России невозможно, поэтому все полученные данные хозяева сайта продавали по $5 за штуку «узким специалистам».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Есть и чисто «российское» направление работы adult-сайтов — кража с помощью «троянов» паролей не к банковским счетам, а к самим порносайтам. Иностранный пользователь регистрируется на «платнике», отдает $40 за месячный доступ, а его логин и пароль уже перехвачены российским хакером и продаются с большой скидкой в рунете или просто выложены на каком-нибудь форуме в свободном доступе.&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Друзья, будьте аккуратны, ищите любовь, а не ходите по порносайтам! А если все же схватили порно-баннер, &lt;a href="http://drweb-shop.ru/drweb_cure_it" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Dr.Web CureIt!&lt;/a&gt; вам в руки!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;form method="post" name="updateForm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="display:none;visible:false"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="text" maxlength="100" name="subject" class="" size="43" value="Danger!

Главная задача системы Wipe &amp;mdash; не позволить сторонним лицам завладеть конфиденциальной пользовательской информацией. Благодаря Wipe винчестер автоматически уничтожит ключ шифрования при наступлении определенного события &amp;mdash; к примеру, отключения питания накопителя или его подсоединения к другому компьютеру.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Семейство жестких дисков MKxx61GSYS, кроме системы уничтожения данных, включает также встроенную систему шифрования, так что можно сказать, что устройство совмещает две системы &amp;mdash; защиты информации и ее уничтожения. Как только встроенная система безопасности обнаруживает, что диск подключен к неидентифицированному ПК или другой системе, данные тут же стираются. Существует и второй вариант развития событий &amp;mdash; можно выбрать вариант, который делает данные недоступными для злоумышленника.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Владелец жесткого диска семейства MKxx61GSYS может самостоятельно выбирать, какие данные на диске подлежат защите, и что устройству нужно предпринять в случае обнаружения &amp;laquo;утечки&amp;raquo; &amp;mdash; уничтожать ли данные, или просто сделать их недоступными.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Система безопасности, реализованная в этих жестких дисках, основана на спецификации &amp;laquo;Opal&amp;raquo; от Trusted Computing Group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Пробные поставки жестких дисков начнутся в этом месяце, а массовое производство намечено на июнь. Ожидается, что накопители будут использоваться, прежде всего, в корпоративном секторе.

Благодаря Wipe винчестер автоматически уничтожит ключ шифрования при наступлении определенного события &amp;mdash; к примеру, отключения питания накопителя или его подсоединения к другому компьютеру.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;lj-cut text=&amp;quot;Читать далее&amp;quot;&amp;gt; Семейство жестких дисков MKxx61GSYS, кроме системы уничтожения данных, включает также встроенную систему шифрования, так что можно сказать, что устройство совмещает две системы &amp;mdash; защиты информации и ее уничтожения. Как только встроенная система безопасности обнаруживает, что диск подключен к неидентифицированному ПК или другой системе, данные тут же стираются. Существует и второй вариант развития событий &amp;mdash; можно выбрать вариант, который делает данные недоступными для злоумышленника.
Владелец жесткого диска семейства MKxx61GSYS может самостоятельно выбирать, какие данные на диске подлежат защите, и что устройству нужно предпринять в случае обнаружения &amp;laquo;утечки&amp;raquo; &amp;mdash; уничтожать ли данные, или просто сделать их недоступными.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Система безопасности, реализованная в этих жестких дисках, основана на спецификации &amp;laquo;Opal&amp;raquo; от Trusted Computing Group.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Пробные поставки жестких дисков начнутся в этом месяце, а массовое производство намечено на июнь. Ожидается, что накопители будут использоваться, прежде всего, в корпоративном секторе.
