The U.S. White House apparently does not want your email protected under the same search and seizure laws that currently require a warrant to execute.  Wired magazine is reporting that the Obama administration is urging Congress not to adopt legislation that would impose constitutional safeguards on Americans’ e-mail stored in the cloud.

Question by Darrenawb: Is There a external Hard Drive with a data recovery warranty?
i know most of them have warrantys but are they any that include data recovery?

Best answer:

Answer by Tracy L
I have never seen one. Data recovery, depending on how the drive fails, can cost thousands and can prove to be impossible. So the manufacturers cover the drive but not data. That is the reason for backups and raid drives etc.

You need to take steps to protect your data, no one else can.

When is hacking legal? When you use it to secure your own network. This new method of hacking, called ethical hacking or white-hat hacking, uses common and readily available hacking tools and techniques to audit your network so you can locate and close security holes. Whether you’re running a small home network or you’re an enterprise network administrator, this course will teach you how to better protect your system against those who wish to gain unauthorized access.

You’ll gain an understanding of the complex method of electronic breaking and entering. You’ll learn the terms and programming behind the interaction between hardware and software when communicating through a network. You’ll follow packets of data from one point to another through an entire network, and find out where the flaws exist for data loss and security breaches. You’ll discover the role of the seven layers of the OSI model, and the dependencies of hardware and software interaction through packet transmission. And you’ll find out how private data can quickly become public knowledge.

Hackers are costing businesses around the globe several billions of dollars every year. Don’t become part of that sad statistic. Sooner or later, you know that somebody is going to try and break into your network. Why not learn how hackers think so you can harden your defenses against them?
