Hackers Don't Share; We Are No Hackers, Let's Share (Information)

Don't worry, i am no hacker as you all aware of. A hacker or commonly refer to as cyber-terrorist is a computer 'geek' who uses a computer system without a specific, constructive purpose or without proper authorization. In common usage, a hacker is a person who breaks into computers and computer networks, either for profit or motivated by the challenge. Because of that, hackers can easily break into federal database, bank account information, public record files or satellite communication network.

Not all hackers are as bad as their publicly labeled, though. There are hackers community in the EUROPE whom provide 'hacking' services through a proper and legal manner. To some people, they couldn't distinguish between 'hacker' and 'cracker'. At one point, they are no different but their activities and objectives are. Generally, hackers provide a significant contribution to networking and operating system usually develop backup program for computers. They are the most 'sought-after' individuals by the F.B.I and especially the defense and military department for their 'talent' and capability. As for crackers, they look for flaw or 'leak' in the system as personal interest and profit through data stealing, ceasing and many other.

Maintaining the security of computers and computer network is a critical issue for Operating system and software program developers. Hackers develop and deploy viruses, worms and, other malicious software programs. If you are wondering how these hackers community execute their objectives neither can i provide the answer. Seemingly, hackers develop and use Hacking Software Programs for certain objective. They eat and sleep by their computers, and ADORE their much alike supercomputers (..of course very POWER-FULL computers).

Not only sought-after, there are a lot of movies made after hackers (Hollywood, where else...) such as "WarGames (1983)" ;or you might like to see a more genuine hacker characters in "Hackers (1995)" where hackers used nicknames like "Ac|d_BuRN" and "Z3R0-CooL". You can also catch Hugh Jackman as the world's greatest hacker in "Swordfish (2001)".

Whether we are aware or not, 'They' are everywhere. So, if someone ask for your name and NRIC number PLEASE be extra caution and not simply disclose your personal information. We never know, not only hacking your FaceBook account 'They' could easily empty your bank account or manipulate your personal information in their favour. Hackers may also deploy viruses and worms unto your computer in 'first-hand'. The trend nowadays is, a hacker will act like a person in-need to use a computer and they will pick random 'victim'. That 'victim' could be me, you or anybody else browsing the internet in Starbucks or BigApple. Next thing you know, you're on your way to format your computer or perhaps buy a new one (brand switching).

I am actually surprise to notice that blogging are quite familiar among Malaysian, especially Sabahan. Recently, the Borneo Blogers Award contest, which is organised by BorneoColours.com had generated huge bloggers interest with 43 blogs eligible for nomination and actually started early this year. five Sabahans are among eight selected bloggers vying for the Top Borneo Blogger Award. Sarawak, brunei and Kalimantan (Indonesia) are each represented by one blogger, in the running to grab crash prize of RM10,000 among other.

In case you haven't heard about BorneoColours.com, it is basically a community portal with the intention of promoting and showcasing the colours of borneo to the world. Generally speaking, BorneoColours.com features are quite similar to Facebook social networking especially in term of content sharing capability. So, it is a decent effort to organised such competition not only to encouraged blogging activity but also as a platform for bloggers to showcased their creativity.

For the blog criteria, bloggers are judged for their content, style and originality and judge via online voting system. Now, what make these 8 bloggers the best? perhaps, we could try to visit their blogs and learn how they organised their content; how they select their style or maybe how to ensure originality.
