Sources in the ministry say hacking has been carried out through several methods. “The most common method is to try and steal the password from the administrator or even get the user password. Another method is to try and enter the FTB or web server and destroy the site. If successful, the hacker can completely destroy the website. Another method is to try and ‘poison’ the URL,’’ added the Government official.

Twitter Dictionary | 35 Twitter Abbreviations
Do you know how to speak Twitter? It makes sense that with only 140 characters, there would be a need to create some shortcuts, but with all the new abbreviations popping up every day, I think it is becoming more of a dialect.

Web goes international, domain names in any language
The body in charge of assigning the world's Internet users their online addresses on Friday said it had agreed to allow the use of any of the world's scripts, no longer just the Latin alphabet.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which approved the change at a meeting in Seoul, said in a statement it could lead to a dramatic rise in the number of Internet users. "This is only the first step, but it is an incredibly big one and an historic move toward the internationalisation of the Internet," said ICANN's President and CEO Rod Beckstrom.
"We have just made the Internet much more accessible to millions of people in regions such as Asia, the Middle East and Russia. "The programme will be rolled out in stages, starting on November 16. Initially, it will allow Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs) using scripts such as Chinese, Korean or Arabic for the country code designators at the end of an address name.
Eventually, the use of IDNs will be expanded to all types of Internet address names. ICANN was set up in 1998 and operated under the aegis of the US Commerce Department. It decides what names can be added to the Internet's Top Level Domains (TLDs) such as .com as well as country designations.
Last month, the US government agreed to changes that in effect meant ICANN would no longer report solely to the United States.
