The Internet - The first Worldwide Tool of Unification ("The End of History")

" ... Now I give you something that few think about: What do you think the Internet is all about, historically? Citizens of all the countries on Earth can talk to one another without electronic borders. The young people of those nations can all see each other, talk to each other, and express opinions. No matter what the country does to suppress it, they're doing it anyway. They are putting together a network of consciousness, of oneness, a multicultural consciousness. It's here to stay. It's part of the new energy. The young people know it and are leading the way.... "

" ... I gave you a prophecy more than 10 years ago. I told you there would come a day when everyone could talk to everyone and, therefore, there could be no conspiracy. For conspiracy depends on separation and secrecy - something hiding in the dark that only a few know about. Seen the news lately? What is happening? Could it be that there is a new paradigm happening that seems to go against history?... " Read More …. "The End of History"- Nov 20, 2010 (Kryon channelled by Lee Carroll)

“…5 - Integrity That May Surprise…

Have you seen innovation and invention in the past decade that required thinking out of the box of an old reality? Indeed, you have. I can't tell you what's coming, because you haven't thought of it yet! But the potentials of it are looming large. Let me give you an example, Let us say that 20 years ago, you predicted that there would be something called the Internet on a device you don't really have yet using technology that you can't imagine. You will have full libraries, buildings filled with books, in your hand - a worldwide encyclopedia of everything knowable, with the ability to look it up instantly! Not only that, but that look-up service isn't going to cost a penny! You can call friends and see them on a video screen, and it won't cost a penny! No matter how long you use this service and to what depth you use it, the service itself will be free.

Now, anyone listening to you back then would perhaps have said, "Even if we can believe the technological part, which we think is impossible, everything costs something. There has to be a charge for it! Otherwise, how would they stay in business?" The answer is this: With new invention comes new paradigms of business. You don't know what you don't know, so don't decide in advance what you think is coming based on an old energy world. ..."

The professional social network LinkedIn said Wednesday some of its members’ passwords were stolen after reports said more than 6.4 million accounts were breached.

“We can confirm that some of the passwords that were compromised correspond to LinkedIn accounts. We are continuing to investigate this situation,” LinkedIn director Vicente Silveira said in a blog post.

“We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused our members. We take the security of our members very seriously.”

Silveira said passwords on the compromised accounts were no longer valid, and that those members will receive instructions on how to reset their passwords.

“There will not be any links in these e-mails. For security reasons, you should never change your password on any website by following a link in an e-mail,” he said.

For other members, LinkedIn has implemented “enhanced security” for password protection, he added.

Several security researchers reported the breach, which resulted in data being posted on a Russian hacker forum.

Graham Cluley of the British security firm Sophos said the hacker posting “does contain, at least in part, LinkedIn passwords.”

“Although the data which has been released so far does not include associated e-mail addresses, it is reasonable to assume that such information may be in the hands of the criminals,” Cluley said in a blog post.

As a result, Cluley said, “it would seem sensible to suggest to all LinkedIn users that they change their passwords as soon as possible as a precautionary step.”

He said users should ensure the password you use is not used on any other websites, and hard to crack.

“If you were using the same passwords on other websites — make sure to change them too. And never again use the same password on multiple websites,” he said.

Jim Walter of the McAfee Threat Intelligence Service said the breach is “a good reminder to all internet users on the importance of maintaining an ever-changing and complex password. A secure passphrase may be the only thing standing between your personal data and those that wish to steal it.”

Just a day earlier, LinkedIn was subject to criticism by a security firm for allowing too much information to be revealed from its mobile application for Apple devices which use the iOS platform.

“LinkedIn’s mobile application has an interesting feature that allows users to view their iOS calendars within the app. However, it turns out that LinkedIn have decided to send detailed calendar entries of users to their servers,” said Adi Sharabani and Yair Amit of Skycure Security.

This means “highly sensitive information such as conference call details and passcodes” could be revealed, they said in a blog.

“We do not believe it utilized the collected information in a malicious way. However, we are concerned by the fact it collects and sends out sensitive information about its users, without a clear indication and consent.”

LinkedIn claims to operate the world’s largest professional network with 161 million members in 200 countries.

The company, which went public last year at $45 a share, has doubled in value despite woes about social networks. Shares closed up marginally at $93.08 on Wednesday.

It posted a profit of $5 million in the past quarter on revenues of $188 million.

A recent survey showed LinkedIn is the most popular US site for posting jobs with 77 percent of openings shared there.
