The online daily deal Web site LivingSocial revealed on Friday that
their website was hacked and almost 50 million customers personal
information had been at risk. However, the company claimed that database
that stores customer credit- card details was not exaggerated.
According to internal emails of LivingSocial that was acquired by the AllThingsD,Learn how an embedded microprocessor in a smartcard can

perpetrators come out to have accessed and affected only with the
customers names, email addresses, dates of birth and encrypted passwords
in their database.
The Washington, D.C based company said that
their customers in the Philippines, South Korea, Indonesia, and Thailand
are not affected by the recent cyber attacks because they are hosted on
different servers. The company, which depends hugely on finances from
the Amazon, has more than 70 million customers and about 70 percent of
the accounts were attacked by the hackers recently.
Robert
Hansen, director of Product Management & Technical Evangelist at
WhiteHat Security, said about the cyber attack that, If there are
approximately a billion people on the Internet, this hack
single-handedly represents about half a percent of all Internet users.
This could be catastrophic, not for the accounts and credit cards that
are stolen directly, but also because of password reuse of all of those
millions of users. They should be changing their passwords immediately.
In
our editorial for last week we reminded you of events from the past
that have come back to haunt and embarrass PAM. They claimed that since
the attainment of Universal Adult Suffrage in 1952 (one of Labours
signature achievements), Prime Minister Douglas had been the first Head
of Government of our country to have a motion of no confidence brought
against his administration. That has now been shown to be a most hideous
and outrageous falsehood. But, then again, only PAM is capable of
fabricating such outlandish misrepresentations. It is their nature, and
very much a part of who and what they are.
Our disclosure that
Mr. Lee Moore, as Leader of The Opposition, in 1981 had filed and sought
to bring to discussion in Parliament a motion of no confidence in the
government headed by Premier Dr Kennedy Simmonds had driven them into a
state of frenetic anger. Running True to Form they are lashing out at
everyone and everything.We have a wide selection of handsfreeaccess to choose from for your storage needs.
What
is more, as we look back at the whole sordid affair, it has to be
keenly embarrassing for PAM to realize that they have been the first and
only government anywhere in The Commonwealth ever to have tabled a
motion seeking a vote of confidence in themselves.The term 'earcap control'
means the token that identifies a user is read from within a pocket or
handbag. The ridiculousness of that first ever, most historic charade
has only added to their anger and bitterness.
Another point
which is now irking and stinging them quite severely is the fact that
they ran away from the first motion of no confidence, delayed it for
over a year, also ignored the second one, and ducked behind the
independence matter, even though,Find the best selection of high-quality

In
last weeks Editorial you were also reminded that, as far back as 1982,
and even before, we have always been at pains to point out that PAM is
all about abuse, and whenever confronted by the truth their mode of
defence is to attack those bringing matters to light. Even to this very
day it is still their modus.
At the Independence Talks in London
the Labour Team tried to have certain provisions enshrined in the
constitution. One related to the tabling of motions of no confidence in
the government and the prioritizing of their discussions in parliament.
Another
was the inclusion of provisions relating to Integrity in Public Life.
Both of these were strenuously resisted by those on the governments
side.
Indeed, it was on that occasion that a Cabinet Minister
made the infamous (and highly irresponsible) statement that if the
people want to elect a scamp let them elect a scamp. It has also been
reported that Junior Minister Richard Caines made the most noise at that
conference.
It is also to be remembered that, in the run-up to
the London Conference, PAM also stifled any real discussion of the
constitutional provisions relating to a large number of matters,
including those mentioned immediately above.
Amongst many other
things Mr. Moore warned, here in Basseterre and again in London, that
the time would very soon come when there would be more registered voters
living abroad that those at home who had to live with the daily
experiences of life. As usual the persons on the government (PAM side
pooh-poohed his sage advice, and ridiculed and laughed him to scorn. His
warnings have come to pass.Shop wholesale bestsmartcard controller from cheap.
Today
we have Mr. Eugene Hamilton angrily making noises about the need for
electoral reform, the need to change the rules dealing with registration
of overseas voters, the need for an In tegrity in Public Life Bill, and
on and on.
The kindest thing which can be said about his
ranting is that he is being hypocritical. For one thing, when the
Electoral reform exercise was carried out during the life of the
previous parliament his party chose to absent itself. How can they now
expect anyone to take them seriously about such matters?
