Measures to Prevent GMail And Orkut When Hacked

A few things you should NOT do if you don’t want your account to be hacked into:-

• Don’t run any scripts (javascript codes etc) that are forwarded to you on your Orkut account or GMail.
• Don’t ever paste any link or code in your browser’s address bar if you aren’t completely sure about it.
• Don’t choose passwords which are too easy and similar to the username. For example, if your username is xyz@gmail.com, your password shouldn’t contain similar letters or sequences such as “xyz1”. These are easy to guess and hence easier to hack into.
• Don’t save your passwords anywhere on your hard drive or browser’s history in case you’re on a public computer.
• If you are planning to get Windows reinstalled from a professional, make sure youdelete all cookies and history because you never know what the computer guy would wanna do.
• Don’t add people you don’t know because you can never be sure which hot looking girl can turn out to be a coke drinking chip munching hacker.
• If you do think you got hacked, DON’T PANIC immediately.

Now, some things you should do to keep your account safe:-

• Use difficult passwords which contain alphanumeric as well as numeric fields and characters such as “_” and “.” if they are permitted. I know you’ve heard it millions of times but it helps, trust me it does.
• Always sign out when you’re done checking e-mails and using your account. Closing your browser when you’re still signed in is the worst thing you can do.
• Another neat trick would be to use a separate Google ID for Orkut so that even if that does get hacked into, you don’t lose much important stuff. You will only need to inform the people that the account has been hacked and hence they shouldn’t open or send any e-mails to the concerned ID. However, if you’re using the same ID that is used for Blogging, other purposes, then you’ll be stuck badly. This is because if some service sends you a notification message and the hacker opens that, it’s probable that he would be able to enter the other account without having to know the username or password for that because the services assume that the person using your e-mail ID is actually you.
• Don’t share e-mail ID’s. Your girlfriend wants to know the password for your e-mail ID and you tell her. The other day, you break up and your girlfriend finds a new guy and they hack your account as revenge. You’re dead dude. If you’re a girl, be even more careful. Guys are crazier, over possessive and revenge prone so don’t give him the password to the account which contains vital information. If though you have shared, make sure you change the password the day you have a break up.
• Read the instructions of the website on which you are making an account. Orkut clearly states that you should NOT paste any scripts in your browser’s address bar. I hadn’t read that and so I pasted one. That’s why I’ve been thinking my account will be hacked for the past couple of days. All the people who clicked on that link had their accounts hacked, well except me. Orkut’s help is here.
• Backups are helpful. You can download your contacts and your Google Reader items from your Google account in different formats and these can be used in the new account.

Now, what to do when you know your account has been hacked? I’ll tell ya. But first step is, DON’T PANIC!

There can be two possibilities if your account gets hacked into. They are:-

Phishing Attack is the most popular way of stealing other’s password. Popular by the name of fake login (among those who knows it!!) the users land on a page where they are asked for their login information and they enter their username and password thinking it to be a real page but actually it is other way round. It submits all the details entered to the programmer or the coder.

Community Links: Many times you are provided with a link to a community in a scrap. Read the link carefully, It may be something likehttp://www.okrut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=22910233 OKRUT not ORKUT. Clicking on this link will take you to a fake login page and there you loose up your password.

Orkut New Features: I have come across a page that looks like they are giving the user a choice of selecting new features for orkut with your ID and password, of course!! When user submit the page, there goes his ID and password mailed to the coder.

Java script: You must have seen the circulating scraps that asks you to paste this code in your address bar and see what happens! Well sometimes they also leak out your information. Check the code and if you are unsure of what to do, then I recommend not to use it.

What will the Next Gen Samsung Galaxy S III look like?

Speculation surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S III has been rampant around the blogopshere and we are here to aggregate all of it into one place for your pleasure!

Samsung had monster years in 2010 and 2011 with their Galaxy S and Galaxy S II phones, whichtogether have sold a whopping 40 million units. Having set the bar so incredibly high, the rumored specs for the next Galaxy smartphone are already quite impressive. On the generous side we have rumors of a 1080p display, quadcore processors and even wireless charging while looking towards more conservative stats we can expect a 720p display, next-gen dual-core and ceramic back case.

In terms of the design of the phone, the multiple ‘leaks’ of the S3 all focus on 2 main things: thinness and a huge display. The artist responsible for the first render seen above believes that Samsung will stick with capacitive navigation buttons and an ultrathin bezel. I can’t quite say that I agree with the mother of pearl look on the back of the phone however that may be an attempt to denote that the back of the phone will be ceramic. Chanes that the Galaxy S II will actually look like this? Not likely.

Tip: List of 10 Important Changes for Galaxy S II with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Update

After upgrading my Galaxy S II to Android 4.0.3, I’ve found a fair amount of changes to the look of Android as well as the structure of the UI. For the most part its pretty intuitive, but we thought we’d give you a heads up.

1. Menu Button

The old menu button used to being up a 6 button grid with icons on the home screen, and 3-2 button grids on others.

In Android 4.0, the menu button now brings up a list of options sans icons. I personally found this a bit confusing as the icons were helpful in locating what you need, but this helps maintain a cleaner look. You will also notice icons have disappeared from various locations around the UI such as the dialer.

2. Input Method Notification Icon

This one of the most apparent changes because as soon as you start typing, a small keyboard icon will appear in your notification bar indicating you are using your input method.

By opening the notification bar, you can select this icon to select a different input method and quickly access their settings as well. This was a nice addition because it takes out one step when trying to reach your keyboard settings.
