To share or Not to share?

The era of technology has made the world too small! Not that am complaining but gone are the days when you just went through a whole day without care coz a) No one was stalking you, physically or otherwise b) No one had that time anyway c) TV didn't have 100+ channels that needed versatile programs to keep us entertained. It makes me wonder if people have just lacked any sensible stuff to do or we have exhausted everything doable on this planet!

There are people making names for themselves just because they are able to hack into any computer network, legally or otherwise btw! Makes you wonder, how much information you have laid out in the web for some guy in alaska or china to easily access? Will this come to bite you sometime in the future?

Well, live is all we can do! Fear of the unknown has been known to cripple the best of us. Embarking on my own type of fact finding through blogging is something i intend to do, despite the guy in Alaska or China. It would be cool though if he was in China or she, am sure there is some genius chic out there who is obsessed with hacking as opposed to the other regular chic obsessions! Please if it ever is a chic, do get in touch, you will need a standing ovation.

So by this time we all know that the security settings us computer laymen have been graced with, do not really make any difference to hackers out there. I was most impressed (it's always a natural reaction, empathising with hackers, so long as it's for the good of the 'society') when a Kenyan journalist hacked the ICC website and thus other big shot email addresses! How cool was that!

'Mr Dennis Itumbi, a blogger, was arrested in Embu and detained at Kileleshwa Police Station over the weekend and is expected to appear in court this morning to face two charges of illegally accessing confidential, privileged and classified information and publishing it.' From the Standard Newspaper.

There has been alot of increased reports of government and police website hackings in Kenya and it goes to show just how much our IT gurus have evolved and are talented. After all free hacking tutorial softwares have been made available to all who can easily access the internet.Most likely we shall be bombarded by some scientist on why people are into hacking, but my guess is that they do it just for the sheer fun of it!
