TinyEye... are you using images w/o permission?

Now a days,a common trend of copying internet contents is on peak.But very few are aware of the fact that,reading of contents are free ;not copying.



TinEye is a reverse image search engine that is very easy to use.one can submit an image from the desktop or any location on local drive to Tin Eye to find out where it came from, how is was used,and if any modified versions were existing.

TinEye uses image identification technology rather than keywords,metadata or any sorts of watermarks.

# Cyber Stalking : ideally means harassment of victim over cyber medium.

# DOS attack : This concept initially i thought to be very simple ( when i was in 11 std).as i completed my engineering,i started believing DOS to be the most dangerous tool.This attack floods the victims bandwidth and/or fills his/her inbox with huge amount of data/spam

# Virus Dissemination : Act of attaching virus.worms/trojans to setup of any progrms

3. Are you safe surfer ?

Ask the following Q's before going online to prevent yourself being attached

2. Is your pc/laptop has Firewall configured ?

3. Is your password really strong for email accounts and pc logins ?

4. Do you open emails of unknown people?

5. Are unknown people in your contact list?

6. Do you scan each and every attachment ?

7. Do you disclose any personal information vis emails/chat etc ?

4. How secure is your credit card?

Credit card is been most used in whole world and also that its been attached too.

i will share some methods to prevent credit card being attacked

1. Donot respond to any emails which asks for your card details

2. While entering Credit card details for shoppping online/online purchase/payments use Virtual keyboard for evtering details( HDFC Bank has integrated it). every Pc has option of On-Screen Keyboard.Use the same.

3.While shppoing online via credit card,check iof the site is secured/

# check for the signs of 3rd party provider like CCAvenue and some text like " Site Verfied on - - - " - - - means day month year respectively.

# Verify if the site address has https:// instead of http://

4.If credit card statements are not received notify the bank to close down the services for your credit card.

5. Don't give any photocopies/xerox of your credit card.the number on credit card can be misused if provided photocopies/xerox to unknown people.


I would love to have some people to share opinions or if they have better tips,i would love to include them in my next tip.
