Apple Founder Steve Jobs once said in an interview: “I think everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer because it teaches you how to think.”

With the changing environment around us and the inclusion of computers in our personal space, technology and computers are now an integral part of our lives. Learning how to code shouldn’t be looked upon as applied sciences and math because it shows us a path to solve life problems and process our thoughts.

This isn’t just a career making skill, but it’s also an in-demand job skill. If you are proficient in your field and having technical knowledge of your subject, learning how to code can empower you to become different and get more attention.

Today I am sharing an enriching infographics by WhoIsHosting. This telling you about the multiple choices you face as a beginner. Take a look:

Russian Hacker Vladimir Drinkman faces 30 years sentence after pleading guilty to hacking NASDAQ, stealing 160 million credit cards.

Vladimir Drinkman, a 34 year old Russian hacker has pleaded guilty in US Federal Court for his role in hacking NASDAQ, JCPenny, 7 Eleven, Dow Jones, JetBlue and other major organisations in the United States. Reportedly, the hacker admitted his involvement in the world wide scheme that ultimately captured details of more than 160 million credit cards.

Federal attorneys in New Jersey who charged Drinkman with conspiracy charges involving wire fraud and unauthorized access to protected computers said the case was the largest to ever be prosecuted on U.S. soil. They alleged that the American companies and individuals lost more than $300 million because of the date breaches perpetrated by Drinkman.

Drinkman, who was arrested in the Netherlands in 2012 and extradited to the U.S. earlier this year, is scheduled to be sentenced in January.

“Defendants like Vladimir Drinkman, who have the skills to break into our computer networks and the inclination to do so, pose a cutting edge threat to our economic well-being, our privacy and our national security,” U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman of the District of New Jersey said in a statement.

Drinkman and his gang, a number of whom remain at large, would monitor the computers of target companies and scan for vulnerabilities in their SQL implementation to create backdoors and ultimately netting the confidential data and later selling it on “underground” forums of the Internet.

Three of his alleged co-conspirators remain fugitives. A fourth, Dmitriy Smilianets, 32, of Moscow, who allegedly sold the stolen information, remains in federal custody.

Aware of the pitfalls of vulnerabilities in its cyberspace following Snowden reports and countless attacks by Chinese hackers on key government websites, Centre has taken a vital step towards having its own operating system (OS) with which it plans to replace all other OSs, including the most popular Microsoft Windows in future.

A highly improved version of BOSS (Bharat Operating System Solutions) developed by C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) will be unveiled and discussed in an internal meeting in union home ministry in this week.

The government developed BOSS in order to reduce dependance on foreign operating systems. The OS was first launched back in January 2007, however it lost ground quickly due to the lack of adoption and faster upgrades offered by other operating systems. The official said, “We have no dearth of developers here. BOSS has almost all the features that one can get in, say, Windows. The earlier version was less user-friendly and had few features. We will seek help of Indian software biggies to develop it further.” He also said that the system was tested over the past three months. Many government agencies asked to check for vulnerabilities and the OS worked as it was supposed to.

The new OS – Bharat Operating System Solutions (BOSS) – was originally developed in 2007 by India’s own National Resource Centre for Free/Open Source Software (NRCFOSS). The latest version of the OS was developed in 2013 and has since been tweaked and adapted to suit the government’s purposes.

There is no dearth of instant messaging applications these days and people are addicted to Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, SnapChat, IM on Twitter, Hangouts and other apps for communicating to each other every moment. Recently, Facebook announced that now you don’t even need a Facebook account to use Messenger. But if you want to create your own DOS style chatroom right from your web browser that destroys itself when chat’s over, Hack.chat is the just the right thing for you.

When you use Hack.chat, there’s nothing to worry about privacy breach or sign-ins. Creating a chat room is dead simple and it could be disposed at any point after the completion of chat. I call it disposable as it doesn’t keep record of all unappropriated and private message you’ve ever sent.

How to create instant disposable chatrooms with Hack.chat?

Creating a private chatroom in Hack.chat is dead simple. All you need to do is go to the website URL and add a ? and the name of your chatroom. This would make the URL looks like this:https://hack.chat/?random-channel and make a personal chat room with name “random-channel.”

After creating that URL, you can send this to anyone and start chatting in moments. Because the channel you created is private and its name or information isn’t stored anywhere, no random person can appear in your Hack.chat.

Hack.chat has also provided some pre-existing channels to try out. Just head to the home page, click on any of them and add your name to start.

Its creator Andrew Belt promises the Hack.chatservers never store any data and chats. So, if privacy is your concern, give it a quick try. Share this article with your friends and chat privately using Hack.chat.
