Internet Security

Online security is every internet user's responsibility. Every day, devices people use to access the net are beset upon by viruses and savvy hackers, exposing personal information and costing a great deal of money to repair. Those who do not properly apply even the basic security measures are seen as easy prey for those seeking to exploit vulnerable systems. When you buy an internet connected device, it is integral to change its default password to something unique – it's the easiest thing in the world for someone to guess what the default password may be, because this is entirely dependent on the manufacturer and model of the device... this information can be found on user guides posted on the manufacturer's website. These devices can be anything from printers to modems – things you may not consider targets for exploiters, but are just that, says those in IT support.

London Computers

London: Researchers have suggested that magnet-making computer bacteria may be used for building biological computers of the future.

The research may lead to the creation of much faster hard drives, the team of scientists say. 

As technology progresses and computer components get smaller and smaller, it becomes harder to produce electronics on a nano-scale. 

So Microsoft researchers are now turning to nature - and getting microbes involved. 

In the current study, the scientists used the bacterium Magnetospirilllum magneticum. 

These naturally magnetic Cisco micro-organisms usually live in aquatic environments such as ponds and lakes, below the surface where oxygen is scarce. 

They swim following the Earth’s magnetic field lines, aligning in the magnetic field like compass needles, in search of preferred oxygen concentrations. 

When the bacteria ingests iron, proteins inside their computer bodies interact with it to produce tiny crystals of the mineral magnetite, the most magnetic mineral on Earth.
