Rajiv Gandhi's Name Allegedly Included in Black Money List

 
Indore | Oct 29, 2014: A Congress leader filed a complaint with the Cyber Crime Prevention Squad here today about former prime minister late Rajiv Gandhi's name going viral on social media alleging that it has been included among the list of people who have stashed black money in foreign banks.

"We want the police to identify those who have spread such fake messages on social media and register a criminal case against them because the image of our departed leader and party is being tarnished," the Madhya Pradesh Congress IT and Social Media Cell In-charge Dharmendra Vajpayee told PTI today.

The Centre placed a list of names of Indians having accounts in foreign banks before the Supreme Court today.

He alleged that unidentified people who are part of a conspiracy were spreading such messages on the social media stating that the list includes names of top Congress leaders who stashed away black money in foreign banks.

Meanwhile, Cyber Crime Prevention Squad In-charge Sunita Katara said that the Vajpayee's complaint is being probed and information regarding the same has been sent to the Bhopal-based Cyber Cell Headquarters.

72000 Cyber Crime last year reported in india : Ravi Shankar Prasad



India has witnessed a massive surge in cyber crime incidents in about 10 years — from just 23 in 2004 to 72,000 last year, said telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.

“In the year 2004, we had only 23 incidents (of cyber crime). Last year we had about 72,000 incidents. Media reports show as to how cyber attacks are done to completely immobilize the financial infrastructure, information infrastructure,” Prasad said at cyber security event organized by The Observer Research Foundation and industry body Ficci.

As per government’s cyber security arm Computer Emergency Response Team-India (CERT-In) 62,189 cyber security incidents were reported in just the first 5 months this year.

Attackers compromise computer systems located in different parts of the world and use masquerading techniques and hidden servers making it difficult to trace them.

Prasad expressed concern over the absence of technical and legal infrastructure to catch cyber criminals, as also the lack of mechanism to check the unhindered growth of network of infected computer systems and flow of global information to check cyber crimes.

Android 5.0 Lollipop:Features



Google revealed many details about the new version of Android a few months ago, but we didn’t get a name it was simply “Android L.” Now there’s finally a name and a version number to go with it. Android 5.0 Lollipop is a seismic shift for Android in both design and features. With all the details of Android 5.0 now in the wild, it’s time to tell you all about the latest, largest, and greatest Android release yet. Buckle up and sit back: There’s a lot of awesome new features to run through.

Materially different

Google’s last design language was known as Holo, but that has been replaced by Material Design. This was thoroughly previewed when the developer preview was released, and Google went on to update the design guidelines for developers to start making Material apps. However, Google is stressing something new with the unveiling of Lollipop — consistency across devices.
From your phone, to your tablet, to your watch, to your car,  to your TV — it’s going to be Android Lollipop all the time. Well, as soon as your device maker gets around to pushing out an update. There will still be manufacturer skins, but Google is trying to create a vibrant new UI that OEMs will have a hard time covering up. The use of “hero” colors in apps is an example of this. The header color will carry over to the status bar (if the developer supports it), and that color is then shown in the header when you open the app switcher. OEMs love to skin the app switcher, but doing so now will mean taking away useful new UI cues, so why bother?
