Beware of the threat from hacked websites

This year, there has been a large increase in the number of legitimate websites infected by a so-called “iframe” threat – a type of malicious script.

Several prominent websites have come under attack from hackers who have modified the underlying code so that malware can be distributed to unsuspecting users who visit the site. When a user visits an infected site, an invisible connection is established to a remote server, which can then attempt to install malware on the user’s computer. The intention could be to generate spam, or possibly something more sinister, such as stealing personal information e.g. bank account or credit card details.

In 2008, several high-profile websites were targeted, including USA Today, ABC News, Target and Wal-Mart and simply visiting one of these infected websites could have resulted in the user’s computer being infected. More recently, a number of websites have been detected by avast! as being infected by a malicious script called “HTML:Iframe-inf”. Among the websites affected are a number of Government sites in the US, including the United States Forest Service, the US International Trade Commission and the websites of several embassies around the world. Many popular travel and recreational websites have also been compromised.

To minimize the risk of falling victim to such an attack from this, and other similar threats, it is essential that your antivirus software is kept up-to-date.

The origin of AIDS and HIV has puzzled scientists ever since the illness first came to light in the early 1980s. For over twenty years it has been the subject of fierce debate and the cause of countless arguments, with everything from a promiscuous flight attendant to a suspect vaccine programme being blamed. So what is the truth? Just where did AIDS come from?

The origin of AIDS and HIV has puzzled scientists ever since the illness first came to light in the early 1980s. For over twenty years it has been the subject of fierce debate and the cause of countless arguments, with everything from a promiscuous flight attendant to a suspect vaccine programme being blamed. So what is the truth? Just where did AIDS come from?

The first recognised cases of AIDS occurred in the USA in the early 1980s (more about this period can be found on our history page). A number of gay men in New York and California suddenly began to develop rare opportunistic infections and cancers that seemed stubbornly resistant to any treatment. At this time, AIDS did not yet have a name, but it quickly became obvious that all the men were suffering from a common syndrome.

The discovery of HIV, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, was made soon after. While some were initially resistant to acknowledge the connection (and indeed some remain so today), there is now clear evidence to prove that HIV causes AIDS. So, in order to find the source of AIDS, it is necessary to look for the origin of HIV, and find out How, When and Where HIV first began to cause disease in humans.

We have to consider the fact that we have two eyes looking at the world from a slightly different angle or perspective. Though each eye from a slightly different angle or perspective. Though each eye forms its own image, we don’t see double because the two images are ‘fused’ by the brain to give rise to a single, 3 dimensional, properly located pictures.

There are two requisites for fusion – (a) The light entering the two eyes, as they look at the same object, must fall on corresponding points on the two retina and (b) the two images formed on the two retina must be almost equally clear.

If these two conditions are not met, fusion may develop only partially or not at all; as a result you will be facing eye disease called Suppression and later Amblyopia (Laziness of the eye).

1. History Of Telephony in India : In the early ‘90s the government liberalized the telecom sector, a blessing for the Indian Telecom companies and it’s people. Operators stumbled over one another to get onto the driver sit of Cellular Phone service bus and since than Indian Telephony hasn’t looked back.

5. Telephony in India 1995 : In the month of August, Kolkata became the first city to have a cellular network – Modi Telstra’s MobileNet. This is what you might have paid for your cellular services then :
