Email Issues and Security

2007-04-24T03:45:00.000-07:00

There is an excellent post by Viviane over on the Carnival about a security problem with gmail. Please go read it, if you haven't already. Then come back and read this no matter what email client you use.Most of us have more than one email account. At a minimum, I would guess that most bloggers have three: one for blogging, one for work, one for personal non-work/non-blog email. Most people

A Question of Blog Etiquette

2007-01-11T15:22:00.000-08:00

An interesting and honest debate is currently underway regarding the recent dropping of Google search capabilities regarding several sexbloggers and the subsequent reporting of that issue by PBS. I won't repeat it all here, but you can follow the developing story over on Chelsea Girl's blog, here at Sex in the Public Square or read the original PBS story HERE This is an interesting moment when

I thought this was worthy of bringing some attention to. Reporters Without Borders has just released their annual list of countries that stifle free speech on-line. The entire piece can be accessed HERE, and you might also want to visit the Reporters information page HERE for more information of course.You can also have your voice be heard against these countries by voting HERE.

I suspect blogger server issues again, but access was coming and going, and we couldn't log in, stuff like that. No apparent damage done.• Comment moderation has been turned off, hopefully forever.

Phishing

2006-11-07T07:11:00.000-08:00

Researchers at the Indiana University School of informatics found, in a recent study, that phishers may be netting responses from as much as 14 percent of the targeted populations per attack, as opposed to 3 percent per year, a higher-than expected percentage of internet users who are likely to fall victim to scam artists.In computing, phishing is a criminal activity using social engineering

Where There is a Creative Will . . .

2006-11-06T10:57:00.000-08:00

Death. It blows. A lot of people have many different thoughts on death and what will happen when they die. What a lot of people don’t consider is what happens to their creative properties when they die. The rights to your work are tossed in the air and will usually fall to your spouse or family. Not a big problem on the surface.But if you are like 98.4% of most sex bloggers, your spouse and

Resolution of Purpose

2006-11-01T15:15:00.000-08:00

As I had hoped, the recent post regarding a "WatchList" has created a healthy debate amongst several concerned bloggers. This was the entire reason I posted such a controversial post in the first place. Please feel free to read through the comments yourself. Starting this blog up again has been a process and will continue to be a process. There are several "action items" that I want to bring

Plea for Help

2006-10-31T05:38:00.000-08:00

{ Dodger - Our good friend DH has a problem that he brought up in the previous post comments and which I thought deserved a post of its own. This is a problem that mainly affects those who run their blogs on their own domains, but that is an increasing number of us. Anyone that knows of something that can help, please let us know. DH has promised to also share the solutions he has found.

The Watch List (Thoughts Needed)

2006-10-29T18:29:00.000-08:00

I am asking for your opinion on a topic that needs discussed. This blog can function as a forum, as a group discussion, or a place to warn others about something, and as a cry for help. Those are all valuable, and I feel, much needed in this community. But, and this is the big butt, this blog can also take a more active role in making life difficult for those who would attack us. This is the

2006-10-22T20:09:00.000-07:00

Today is the official re-launch of SIC - Stop Internet Censorship. From the moment I first became involved with SIC way back in January, I fully believed in the idea and concept behind this site. With the support of O and Demon Queen I am happy to finally have been able to get the site straightened out and ready to begin again. Thank you to everyone for being so patient with me.You will notice

2006-08-07T18:19:00.000-07:00

First of all SIC is not dead. The site will be re-launched around the beginning of September, the actual date will be announced shortly. As we all know Summer can be a very hectic time in our lives, even more so if you find yourself in the middle of a divorce. But that is beside the point, Summer is also a good time to think things over and make plans for the Fall. So SIC will be back,

What Do You Do When Someone Steals Your Content (Lorelle on WP)

2006-04-13T12:31:00.000-07:00

Having been the target of copyright thieves, and working with writers, authors, and photographers on copyright protection and laws for over 25 years, I thought I’d talk a little about what to do when someone steals your content. First, you noticed that I didn’t say “if” someone steals your content. That was on purpose. With the glut of information on the Internet, it’s now a matter of “when” not

Technorati Issues?

2006-03-19T16:27:00.001-08:00

I posted early today about problems I've had with Technorati. Several people, including members of SIC, said that they also have had issues with them too.Lena offered in the comments of my post to say something to her top-secret Technorati contact, whom she has evidently won over with her feminine wiles.If you leave a message here or email me, I'll pass along a list of those of us who have

Securing Your Intellectual Property

There have been many cases of post theft brought to my attention as of late. It is a sad thing when someone steals other’s intellectual property. It means that someone didn’t secure their data, and someone saw fit to steal it.There are several ways to display data on the web; some are more secure than others. I am going to discuss Plain Text, and my preferred method, PDF.HTML/Plain TextNo matter

WHOIS and Simple IP Tracking

2006-02-04T12:31:00.000-08:00

In this post I am going to show you how easy it is to discover the IP address of a website and track the owner and/or hosting server of that website. There are other ways to do this that are more complicated and time-consuming, but honestly this easy technique works in the majority of cases. I understand that for some of us this is going to be rudimentary information, but I am of the opinion

I think it is important to share openly within this forum the details of our individual and group attacks so that we are all better prepared to face them. It has become obvious at this point that there are indeed individuals and/or groups actively seeking to undermine or destroy the Adult Blogger community. I think it would be unwise to view this any other way. This does not however, mean that

The common misconception throughout the Blogging community is that the hacker has been taking over blogs in an attempt to close them down.

One of the safeguards against internet censorship has been the "common carrier" rule, where as long as a carrier (a phone company, an ISP, a website operator, an internet connection vendor) exercised no control over the content of the information flowing through it they were immune to real or potential misuse.The original use was to protect the phone company from lawsuits for allowing, say, a

Further to Jeff's excellent post below, just another thing that I think is worth mentioning. If you do decide to go down the route of getting your own domain name (and, in turn, your own server space), PLEASE be aware that most domain name registration isn't private. You have to supply your name and address when ordering one, and this then gets added to the details of your domain. This,

Blogger Hijacks

2006-01-15T09:11:00.000-08:00

The mostly likely reason that someone has had their blog hijacked is the use of a poor password and username. If your blog is named sexkitten99’s blog, you really don’t want your username to be sexkitten99. Obvious passwords would be bad as well, if it’s a blog about sex, orgasm would be a bad password. If it’s a political blog, pundit would be a bad password. If your initials are Elf, santa or

Password Security

2006-01-15T08:50:00.000-08:00

Expounding on what Jeff stated about passwords…Password security is the first line of defense for your blog. Please, please, please, I can't stress enough the need to use strong ciphers for your password. A combination of mixed case letters and numbers is the best protection.Example: ABc12DeF34 Jeff is very much correct that you need to use a combination of upper-case and lower-case, as well as
