Property attachment of fake IT companies mulled

HYDERABAD: Waking up to the racket of fly-by-night IT companies that are doing a vanishing act after collecting huge sums of money from job-seekers, the state government has decided to appoint a high-powered committee to check the rampant menace.

Among the options that the committee, which would include cyber crime experts from the police department and officials from the IT department, has been asked to consider is attachment of the property of the offenders.

The first meeting of the committee is scheduled to be held in the last week of March.

The meeting is likely to discuss various issues including selection of panel members, modalities for preventing such crimes and also on punishing the white collar criminals. The action plan would also include empowering CID with additional power to attach properties of white collar criminals in order to reimburse the victims of such crimes.

The decision to appoint a committee was taken at a meeting on Tuesday which was attended by IT minister Ponnala Lakshmaiah, IT secretary, and officials from enforcing agencies such as the home department, CB-CID and cyber crime wing of the police. At the meeting, the economic offences wing of the CID explained various types of crimes committed by spurious IT companies in the last few years.

The IT minister then advised the IT secretary to constitute a committee and prepare an action plan to curtail these activities.

Meanwhile, the IT department has launched the first rural BPO in the country at Challapalli village in Krishna district. The Sunflower IT BPO project became functional on Monday.

Ponnala said the government would replicate this model in setting up similar rural BPOs in other towns and villages in the state.

General Motors plans to hire 10,000 software developers, programmers

DETROIT: Now hiring in Detroit: Software developers and programmers. General Motors is moving past layoffs and the Motor City's rusty, low-tech image. It's setting out on its own to develop software and invent the most advanced gizmos for your car.

America's biggest automaker plans to hire up to 10,000 computer professionals in the next three-to-five years as it tries to lead the auto industry with cutting-edge technology.

It's a bold and expensive move, counter to the industry's history of buying software and other electronic applications from outside companies. Experts say it's also the start of a trend as manufacturers realize that software is among the few things that will set them apart from competitors.

"The companies that build the software themselves in general are going to have an advantage," says David Kirkpatrick, author of a book about Facebook and CEO of Techonomy Media, a New York firm that specializes in setting up technology conferences. "If you outsource the development of software in particular to others, you can risk ... your own ability to compete in the future.''

General Motors isn't alone in trying to move more technology development under its roof. But the plans of its biggest competitor, Ford Motor, aren't nearly as ambitious.

GM's aims to bring 90 per cent of its computer technology work into the company by recruiting workers to four new information technology centers around the nation. Ford recently joined GM, BMW AG and Renault-Nissan in opening a technology office in California's Silicon Valley, although it's staffed by only about 15 people.

GM's first "Information Technology Innovation Center" was announced last month in Austin, Texas, with plans to hire 500 programmers and software experts. And Monday the carmaker unveiled plans to hire 1,500 more at a second computer center in Warren, Michigan, on the campus of its big tech center. GM already has product designers, engineers and other technical experts at the site, including the team that created the Chevrolet Volt electric car.

The other two sites haven't been revealed.

Staff at the centers will try to stay on top of software trends. They'll develop the latest ways to link smartphones with cars or control a vehicle's heating and air conditioning with voice commands. They'll also be counted on to invent technology that no one's thought of yet. And GM also sees long-term cost savings when the centers are fully in operation.
"We're currently seeking the next generation of game-changers to help us usher in a new age of automotive innovation,'' says GM Chief Information Officer Randy Mott, who was Hewlett-Packard's CIO until he joined GM in February.

Although there are shortages of programmers and software engineers in some parts of the country, GM should be able to recruit enough talent by setting up shop in four different regions, experts say. With the tech-hub of Austin and GM's home base in Detroit already covered, the most likely locations for the next two centers are on the West Coast, experts say.

GM says it will offer competitive wages and benefits to pull in recent college graduates and experienced information technology professionals. The company's iconic brand status will help attract people, experts say.

But offering competitive pay will cost GM. Software engineers make $60,000 to $70,000 a year right out of college, and experienced workers can make more, says James Stoeckmann, senior compensation specialist for World at Work, an organization of human resources executives who deal with pay issues.

Expensive or not, the strategy is correct for GM as it tries to differentiate its products from other automakers, says Michael Robinet, managing director of IHS Automotive, an industry consulting firm. With the gap in quality between brands shrinking, the way a car drives and its electronics soon will be the only things that set a company apart, he says.

Currently, GM and most automakers rely on outside companies for touch screen and other technology. But often those companies sell the technology to multiple carmakers, or new software is sold in an expensive bidding war, Robinet says. "If they have their own skunk works and they find a new technology, they are guaranteed to bring it to market first," he says.

Ford, for instance, worked with Microsoft Inc. on its pioneering Sync system, which brought voice activation technology into cars ahead of most competitors. But Ford only had exclusive use of the system for a year before Microsoft was able to license it to other companies, namely Hyundai and Kia.

Outside companies have so much expertise that it will take years for GM to catch up, making it unlikely that the company will completely walk away from outside firms, Robinet says.

Yet with software gaining so much importance in the way all companies operate, it's even possible that GM will find its next generation of leaders somewhere in the computer centers, says Kirkpatrick. "CEOs of every company in the future are going to have to be software thinkers," he says.

How to Secure your Facebook Account

How to Secure your Facebook Account

In the past few years a lot of social apps have been developed which has changed our life completely. Now a days, we have 2 lives, one which is the actual physical life and the other is a virtual life which we live through these social apps. Facebook has become a major part of this virtual life. Nobody wants anyone else to take control of their life. Since our virtual life is online, we need to take care that it is not hacked by any stupid hacker and used for their own benefit.

According the Facebook statistics there are more than 750 Million Active facebook users. This makes is a very important target for all the hackers. I have no doubts that the developers at facebook are working 24×7 to make it as secure as possible but the hackers are also working 24×7 to find out a loophole using which they could take control of your account. But for our safety we also need to work a little harder. According to me, the best possible way to do this is by learning how to hack facebook yourself. If you know the loopholes you will never fall for it.

Now you might be thinking, how can I learn about hacking Facebook. If you ask me, I would say google it and learn it yourself. But I know that nobody has got so much time to search for each and every facebook hack possible. Luckily Rafay Baloch, the author of “A beginners Guide To Ethical Hacking”, has the answer to your question with his newly created “Facebook Hacking Course“.

Facebook hacking course is basically a set of videos which will show you different methods used by hackers to hack Facebook account passwords and how you can protect your self from getting hacked. It will include each and every possible methods that a hacker could use to get your facebook credentials. Along with each video you will get a lab which will tell you exactly how to replicate this attack in a safe environment. It also provides bonus techniques using which you could become anonymous on the internet. If you want to become a hacker this is the first thing you would want to learn. There is also a second bonus with it. You will get email support from none other than Rafay himself.

Now before you make your decision lets hear some words from Refer: “Friends, if you ask me “Is Facebook safe?” my answer would be “Yes. Its safer than your own computer but remember it is still possible that your facebook account may get hacked and that is because all the hacking methods are client based and not server based, which means that the hackers directly attack you and not facebook. And securing your facebook account depends on how better you can avoid these attacks.”

Now I leave it up to you. You may go and take this course which I would highly recommend or you may leave it up to the hackers to find and hack your account.

How to get the Facebook Hacking Course?
