Win 3 iPod Nanos! The Advertlets Cybersecurity Awareness Contest (MY & SG)
Hi Advertlets bloggers! We are organizing a Cybersecurity Awareness contest to address the growing needs of IT security knowledge. In this contest, we are glad to have EC-Council Academy to sponsor 3 iPod Nanos to be awarded to the three best bloggers who write a blog post on the topic below: Joining is simple - just write a blog post, and the best 3 post will win an iPod Nano each!
(HAPPY UPDATE: Since we’ve gotten such a good response so far, the iPod Nanos are no longer 2GB ones We’re gonna give away 4GB iPod Nanos!)
Topic:
The blog post should be on the following topic: Have you or anyone you know been hacked before or what hacking incidents have your heard of, and how has it impacted you?
More Information:
No one is spared from hackers these days. Not even Hongkiat, or more 400 Malaysian Bloggers, or even Paris Hilton!.
Hacking not only comes in the form of website or blog defacements, but also as spam, unwanted emails with viruses, Trojans, SQL Injections, Social Engineering just to name a few. Share with us your experience if you’ve been hacked before, or what hacking incidents you’ve heard of and how it has impacted you – in the way you use the internet and the countermeasures you adopted.
UPDATE: Thanks for your feeedback, here are some tips. Cybersecurity is a wide term, and this should make it a bit clearer on what kind of issues are involved: First off, are you using any of the Top 10 Popular Passwords
that everyone and anyone can guess? You could write on how Trojans Plaguing File
Sharing Networks will affect the way you share files ;
Or, what you think about Personal
Data Privacy ; or how impressed you are with the Types of Computer Security Threats there are (have you heard of bacterium, by the way?)…and even if
you are a non-believer of online transactions you could also be subject to
Non-Online Data
Stealing ;. Hope this gives you some ideas!
