... take over victims' machines ...

"The "zero-day" vulnerability of Internet Explorer 7 allows criminals to take over victims' machines simply by steering them to infected Web sites; users don't have to download anything for their computers to get infected, which makes the flaw in Internet Explorer's programming code so dangerous. Internet Explorer is the world's most widely used Web browser." ~ http://origin-www.sun-sentinel.com/technology/sns-ap-tec-internet-explorer-security,0,2968135.story

EXCERPT: "Witch Hunts on the Internet"

Week 1
This is a transcript of a chat I found on my daughter's computer. Well, not the whole transcript, which was full of stuff like 'random' and 'weird' and 'whatever'. What follows is only the salient bit.
-
Tom16: Need to tell u something important. A secret.
Alicia15: Ok ... :-)
Tom16: Not sure if I can trust u.
Alicia15: Why not?
Tom16: Lots of people online aren't who they say they r. If I hear ur voice, I'll know u r not a middle-aged perv posing as one of us.
Alicia15: Makes sense.
Tom16: So. Do u have a mobile?
Alicia15: Yeah. But no.
Tom16: A webcam?
Alicia15: Forget it!
Tom16: Just kidding. How about photos then?
Alicia15: Plural? That's greedy!!! LOL
Tom16: Anybody can have 1 pic of a 15yo girl. If u have 5, u may be for real.
Alicia15: Dunno. I'm not cool with sending my photos.
Tom16: Come on. It's not like giving ur home address or the gold, u know?

Google makes the Internet unsafe

Google is why too much Internet information may be a bad thing.

How many 13-year olds wouldn't think twice to give a "friend" in a chat room the following information over a period of time:
- their first name
- the city they lived in
- the sport they played for their school
- the position they played
- that they'd had a home game last Sunday
- that they'd won?

Go on, try it. Google your daughter using the information above. You may be unsettled by what you find.

Witch Hunts on the Internet

Is your child safe in that chat room?

"Witch Hunts on the Internet" by Yvonne Eve Walus has just been released by Echelon Press.

Danger!!! Internet chat are immediate and intimate, but sometimes they only create the impression of a relationship. Sometimes they break hearts. Sometimes they claim lives.

Danger!!! The Internet makes many things look ok even though they are not ok: porn, sex parties, talking to strangers. It changes the rules and the way the world works.

Danger!!! Internet People are not always what they seem. When your 13-year old daughter pretends to be 15 and in a dating chat room with a 40-year old guy... how far would you go to protect her?

Review:
"I read it and everyone with internet-age kids can do themselves a HUGE favor by reading this one! This day and age can be a very scary one if you don't pay very close attention to your children and what they might be up to online. No one is safe without a little precaution!" ~ Nathalie Kychler Moore
