Let’s all not get too excited. This blog entry isn’t really about iPad (because I’m sure that most of you will write something about this latest craze.. Actually, Mr. Tabamo already did!)
Aa we all know, Apple chief executive revealed last week the company’s latest device: a touch-screen tablet computer called the iPad which resembles an oversized iPhone. But let’s not talk about its icky name or its ooohs and aaaahs or its deficiencies.. let’s talk about how people use this craze for their “evil” intent.
Even before its availability in the market, hackers and criminals “poison” online searches by rigging websites with words likely to be used as query terms to assure prominent ranking on results pages. These hackers routinely take advantage of hot topics such as the Haiti earthquake or the death of a celebrity to lure people into visiting trick websites or opening booby-trapped files.
The Internet is the most convenient way to get the latest updates about everything but this comes with a price. Hence, we should be more careful when surfing the net.
Just a friendly reminder. :)
