Be safe from hackers

 These days, nearly every coffee shop, library, airport and hotel offer a way to access the internet from your cell phone or other mobile device. That means the information you have on your phone could be available to hackers in the area – unless you’ve taken steps to protect your data.

  1. Don’t access personal or financial data with public Wi-Fi.

    This may seem like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many people check their bank accounts or make purchases with a credit card while using public Wi-Fi. It’s best to do those things on a secure connection.

  2. Turn off anything you don’t need.

    Hackers can use certain features on your phone to get at your information, location or connection. So, instead of keeping your GPS, wireless connection and geo-tracking on all the time, just turn them on when you need them.

     

  3. Choose your apps wisely.

    Only download apps from trustworthy sources that have established a good reputation. Make sure you update your software and apps regularly and get rid of old apps you don’t use.

     

  4. Use a password, lock code or encryption.

    Make sure your passwords are at least eight characters long, with a mix of upper and lower case, and include numbers or other characters, and never use the auto-complete feature for passwords. You can use the storage encryption feature on your phone to protect your private data, and set your screen to timeout after five minutes or less.

  5. Be skeptical about links and attachments.

    If you’re not sure about the source, don’t use the link or open the attachment.

     

  6. Trace or erase.

    Make sure your data is secure if your mobile device is stolen or lost. You can set up your device to lock itself after a pre-set number of failed log-in attempts.

A hacker is someone who uses a combination of high-tech cybertools and social engineering to gain illicit access to someone else's data.                                                                                          -John McAfee

Programming Vs. Animation

So, many people ask that what should I choose either programming or animation. and this is a most frequently question. We  would like to tell you that there is no comparison between the two. As it totally depends on the person that in which field he/she is interested. Nothing is better or worst in any case. It depends on your part of interest that which field you choose for your career. There might be a possibility that a programmer will say that programming is better and same for the animator also. People love their own fields and part of interest. This is not a platform to decide your interest. And if you have this question apart from interest, then too you can’t compare these two fields which are already skyrocketed in the market. Both the field are entertaining at their place depending upon the workers interest. Both need a lot of efforts and logic to get created. Financially also both fields are quite good. So, in our opinion both programming and animation are the best fields ...

Which language to choose

There are many programming languages available on internet to learn. So, many people have doubt in which language to choose to learn. But anyone cannot answer which language but it depends on your interest on the technology and we have already had an article about which technology to choose click here to go to that article. If you have already had clarity in which technology. Then let’s talk about languages.

So, no one can suggest one langua...

History of python

Python   is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. It was initially designed by Guido van Rossum in 1991 and developed by Python Software Foundation. It wa s main ly developed for emphasis on code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code.  Let’s dig deeper –  In the late 1980s, history was about to be written. It was that time when working on Python started. Soon after that, Guido Van Rossum began doing its application based work in December of 1989 by at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) which is situated in Netherlands. It was started firstly as a hobby project because he was looking for an interesting project to keep him occupied during Christmas. The programming language which Python is said to have succeeded is ABC Programming Language, which had the interfacing with the Amoeba Operating System and had the feature of exception handling. He had already helped to create ABC earlier in his ...
