Anonymous Creates Credit Card Fraud Campaign - Operation Robin Hood

Anonymous and TeaMp0isoN have teamed up and created a credit card fraud campaign. Their alliance is called p0isAnon.

They named their campaign "Operation Robin Hood" which relates to Robin Hood, the English outlaw who stole money and gave it to the poor. 

Operation Robin Hood will focus on stealing credit cards and donating the money to the 99 percent. This money will go towards charities and other organizations.

Anonymous and TeaMp0isoN aim at helping the 99% as much as possible. They also are doing this due to the SOPA bill that may pass soon.

P0isAnon said they are not scared of any police, secret service, or any other government law enforcement.

Could this campaign end up hurting the people they are trying to help?

Google Modifies its HTTPS Encryption Method for its Services

Google has modified its HTTPS for its services which use it. This was done for the future when technologies can decrypt general HTTPS.

Instead of just giving the user a private security key. Google's modified HTTPS will delete and create new private keys so they are never the same.

What this will do is stop the attacker from getting anywhere. If they get one key they won't have much because new keys are made. They won't get much data. Even the server admin won't be able to decrypt the HTTPS after its set. Google had to design an extension to support this method since SSL doesn't support it.

Google's modified HTTPS doesn't work in IE. It currently only works in Chrome and Firefox. Google is planning on making it work on IE in the future.

This new HTTPS is very interesting. I think it could make security much stronger. Google just needs to make sure their new method can't be countered.

Black Friday Sales - Get them while you can!

Black Friday sales are booming! Get them while you can.

Amazon is continuing their Black Friday sales until December 3rd. Otherwise you should be rushing to get those sales before they end at midnight.

If you don't feel like going out to those crazy crowds you could shop online. I myself am considering to buy some things online such as a tablet. With these sales I can't turn them down.

Make the most out of these sales!

Stop SOPA - The Future of the Internet Depends on it

SOPA, the bill that will change the Internet. Will it pass? I hope not.

The SOPA bill in the US will enable the US government to censor websites, punish users, and have general control over the internet.

This bill will affect any website the US government thinks should be blocked. The US government will have general control of the Internet in the US. No citizen can freely browse any site they wish. The population will be controlled. Free speech will be affected enormously. If the government doesn't like it they simply can block it and shut it down.

Even though this bill is for the US only it would still affect the world.

This bill must be prevented. Too much control is never good!

Learn more about SOPA with this infographic(Click to enlarge):

Amazon Sued by Apple Over Amazon's Appstore for Android

Amazon has been sued by Apple over Amazon's Appstore for Android.

Apple is suing Amazon because they believe they own the words "App Store." Apple doesn't want anyone else using those words when selling apps online.

Apple filed a lawsuit in March to stop Amazon from calling there store "Amazon Appstore for Android." The attempt was a failure.

Apple now tries again and also wants any profits made by Amazon's Appstore for Android.

Apple probably won't get this. It appears that way to me because they have tried before and are still trying today.
