Community based research is totally different because they have different factors affecting it like Religion, Ethnicity, Location etc. Also identifying the Socioeconomic and environmental factors are key in community based research.

Identity theft happened to my mother on he bank account, where a fraudster sent a text to her as her banker. She was curious and called the number, she gave almost all her details before i walked in to ask what she was doing? I immediately knew it was a fruad. I had to take her to the bank to change her details immediately. Luckly enough, i saved the day.

This datagram and TCP/IP router expirence gives me an idea why i send chats to a friend, i notice that the 1st chat message gets in late, while the 2nd chat arrives before the 1st. This usually causes misundering of communication some times.
I understand that its caused by router routing and datagram delivery.. -

My company server was infected with trojan horse.. It infected one of our client's job, which almost costed us our reputation. On the server we see the job, when we tranfer it to our client's location, it comes up will virus alart.. We had to zip the folder and unzip it on a virus free system with active antivirus. Thats how the day was safed.

@Ed Evans, you will be surprised at the level of computer illitrates all over the world, who has no knowledge about computer, talk less of operating one.

Cyber crime is a big business, imagine the malwares and vulnerable individuals that fall victim to such rogues, especially in Africa where computer awareness is still low but alot of financial services are online.
In this case, the illitrates suffer more because they are not litrates in IT. Their curiosity plays a role to their vulnerability... -

Malwares can liken to be Rogue softwares with harmful consequences to both hardwares and softwares..

EFFIONG DANIEL ASUQUO made a comment
Malware is an abbreviation for malicious software. Its a software that is specifically designed to gain access or damage a computer without the knowledge of the owner, more or less espionage software.

EFFIONG DANIEL ASUQUO made a comment
Rogue security software: It deceives or misleads users. It pretends to be a good program to remove Malware infections, but all the while it is the Malware. Often it will turn off the real Anti-Virus software.

Just learned about differentiating types of malware and how they strive... Excellent course..

EFFIONG DANIEL ASUQUO made a comment
So viruses are mostly triggered or spread by human carriers from flash drives or storage devices., while worms are spread over the network seeking vulnerable machines to prey on. Interesting..
-
EFFIONG DANIEL ASUQUO made a comment
Viruses from what i have learned, can be seen as parasites. We have harmful and non harmful parasites. However, we take drugs to flush out or protect ourselves from such parasites like worms etc. So also viruses and antivirus..
This is the way i understand the course or topic thus far. -
EFFIONG DANIEL ASUQUO made a comment
Enjoying every structure of this course, but found open authentication a little here and there. Will need to research more on it.
-
Work place clock cards and access to restricted areas, after inserting the card you need finger print access to authenticate the process to be accepted, that is a secured Two-factor authentication process.

Its great to know how easy or instances that may lead to ones account to be compromised. However, the security solely depends on the owner of such account to mount guard and monitor it. That can be a little stressful though..

My passwords are a little porous from what i have learned today. I will make things more complicated from henceforth. Will incorporate %@134upper and lower cases to my passwords now.
-
EFFIONG DANIEL ASUQUO made a comment
We as users should make passwords difficult to attack? We many achieve this when we first opened a new user account, but as time goes on if too complex, we many forget the combinations.. This is a #challenge for everyone..

EFFIONG DANIEL ASUQUO made a comment
From alittle research checking on the best passwording style, found that the secured way to store passwords is using slow hash, bcrypt algorithm. Its more secured.

Finger print or thumb print is helping out to solve complex and long passwords entries.

Shopping online is trending in Nigeria, i personally prefer that because of comfort and simplicity. But everybody worries about privacy of information, banking detail security and so on.
Hackers continue to try to infiltrate financial institutions’ server with malware and phishing software, and in many cases are very successful. -

I have alittle issues on windows update. i found out that updates also contain a lot of megabytes, overtime it eats up and becomes gigs on the hard disk, resulting to system slowdown.. Can updates or patches be reduced? Or rather, can OS be light enough to accommodate future updates or patches, This will help our hard disk and processors.

The malware dubbed 'stuxnet' attacked on Iranian uranium centrifuges to my opinion caused the following to the programme
1. Confindentiality was not violated, the malware did not transmit any data to any source.
2. Integrity was altered by Stuxnet, the programs that made the motors rotate at specific rate was breached
3. Users had full access to data,... -

With the world tending towards IoT (internet of things) this is a serious issue we all are taking lightly. Imagine if that is hacked, that means all my life has been hacked and manipulated. I see network security experts being the next high paid individuals.

Passive support can only change to massive support if there is ease of means to donate. if i can get a code from my service provider to text a word to a particular number and that's all, the donation is made, then the amount is deducted from my phone. i guess a lot of donations can be achieved.

my job has been challenging and has made me to apply snail speed on this course, but it is worthy of completion.

Rufaro, Thanks so much. Will keep a date with the course.

Rebecca, i think this may help in terms of knowing how many friends they have on Facebook, click on their name then check their profile, on the profile page, all the information you need are displayed there. That is how I check on people who send me friend request before I accept them.

This analysis is throwing more light into how I can identify a power node amongst the lots..

The nodes, edges and hubs are more like family tree pattern, if they become random, then the phenomenon of stringed connections where friends of yours friends connect to you. locations and common interest becomes less important.

Recruiting Companies varify people from Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. This helps them to know who they want to hire and how you relate with people socially or otherwise.

Anthropology of human behaviour and social media is key to help us strike a balance to this study. Social media has given us a platform to understand the past and present trends to how humans are interconnected regardless our believes, region, geographical location and social status.

From the little I know, there are always cheats during war. The 1st world war saw the Germans use Zeppelins to pound civilian locations in England, to force them abandon the war.

We can't ban killer robots because they go where humans can't. I stand to be corrected, i truly feel they should be semiautomatic not fully auto.

EFFIONG DANIEL ASUQUO made a comment
This started in world war one when the use of Zeppelins were used to throw bombs on non-combatant targets. Which weren't accurate, hence unmanned weapon systems emerged.

EFFIONG DANIEL ASUQUO made a comment
The difficulties of getting the balance right between the media and the military is when to relate sensitive information to the media. During the #bringbackourgirls campaign the then elected state gave an incorrect information that was retracted back from the global information domain. This was a major error to the elected state of that time.

Lino, I agree with you. Military officers that are defence information directors as the are called in my country, should in a moment of their life go study investigative journalism, this will help them a lot.

Reporting live from the theater is only meant for the Commanders and the elected state leaders. Example is the US President and the Navy seals that took Osama bin Laden down. If live reports was on before and after the mission, the target would have relocated and the causalities wouldn't have been funny.
-
EFFIONG DANIEL ASUQUO made a comment
Well trained Commanders who are vested in military ethics should always lead the charge during military operations. Operations should be kept secret till carried out successfully, then it can be announced. For example, the Osama Bin Laden's operations. If it was announced, I doubt if it would have been a successful operation.
My opinion is, the Media should...

I believe the idea of conscription for nation building is welcome. In my country Nigeria, all graduates from the University and polytechnics, engage in a compulsory one year national youth service.

However, this isn't meant for combat... -

In my country, there is also one year compulsory national youth service as it is called. If you are below 30 years, after you graduate from the University or polytechnic, one is required to compulsorily serve the country for one year.
This scheme is coordinated by the Nigerian military. It's not necessarily for military purpose but to foster unity amongst...

Change, evolution, revolution and humans are all part of life, this gives meaning to our existence. We tend to make life simpler, meaningful and interesting, thus inventions became necessary.

Just like it was said in the video, the world has changed SM in the sense that when the platforms were formed or created, the inventors never knew the pattern it will follow in terms of usage. But today culture, religion, geographical region and economic variables all affect the input/output of SM.

I don't think it is exaggerated and homogenised that hundreds of posts on social media, carry regular patterns and repetition of genres and posting. Most memes are more like series and episodes that continues in a pattern of story telling.

I think people are just having fun. Though, they tend to live a life of fairy-tales on social media. What some cant naturally get or achieve, SM helps them to. Examples are friends posting expensive holidays and foods etc.

In terms of technology, people brag about using newer social media platforms, like when people are talking about WhatsApp, most High class have moved to wechat, Twitter, instagram and Pinterest etc.
Some also brag about selfies of eateries, expensive restaurants and vacations.

In my own view, people tend to post selfies of themselves having fun and expressing their wealth or success through flashy selfies. However, I do have a mixture of both Brazilian and Chilean exhibitors.

To me social media has contributed to some and has also not contributed. Some people dress well and post nice pictures which can be verified but if they are people you know offline, you ignore them and see them as jokers.

It will be bad if one side maintains just war theory rules and the other doesn't. Then i will say a perfidious violation of trust occurred between them.
Pretending as being an AMERICA soldier and infiltrating their lines may sound smart and being a strategy. But it violates the principle of just war.
