So I'm doing a persuasive speech about people should not give up their social network account and password or privacy to an employer.
Some might say that the solution is to don't use these social networking sites and just go out there and have a real life. Or just use a fake account and hand that over to the employer. However, I think that's not really the way to solve it. Yes, it might solve the problem for NOW. But what about in the long run? These scenarios would only get worse if these employers are allowed to invade people's privacy because no one's complaining about it and they would think that what they're doing is not wrong.
Here's the example of what I'm thinking:
Employer: What's your Facebook account and password?
Applicant: *gives the employer his/her login information
Employer: Thank you. We'll let you know if we're interested in hiring you.
Interview is over...
Employer(thinking): Hmm... So people are handing over their account... Maybe next time I'll ask for their emails...
So what do you guys think about this?
P.S. Sorry for the wrong grammars...
What if the employee is asked to sign an contract that states what the employer can do and can't do, like conditions?

Then the employee will have to either take it or leave it... then asking for such private information would become standard and people are obliged to give up their privacy just for a job opportunity.

Like its says in my FAQ, if youre less that 15 days into the 30 day billing period, and unsatisfied, I will return your payment.
I do still have a couple upgrades I would like to put in place within the next month, but I really hate to spend too much more, when Im not really seeing that much interest from the get go, but if you want a month for free to check it out, let me know, I would appreciate any business.

Thanks for your input, after dumping a few grand into building redundant servers, and taking the time to set it all up, not to mention the stress, I really like to have some really nice person chime in and tell me and others its free elsewhere, its hard enough being the small guy and trying to compete in a world of giants.

Rather than complaining surely the best response would of been why your service is better than mail2web's? For example...
$4 a month gets you a mail alias. At M2W it's $4.95 a month.
Does your service included access using Outlook on a PC?
What about Spam filtering?
What about Anti Virus?
Is there any software out there where you can connect to a secured wifi (and bypass the password) or hacking a wifi or something?
google kismet but it has nothing to do with this phone.
Retina by Eeye is the only one I know of (for PPC at least). Will allegedly crack WEP passwords.
Googling ends up with the following links (amongst others) -

i tryed to get the Retina by Eeye but its asking me for a company email address. any have it already dl and want to email it to me?
Why would you want to steal a persons WIFi? That's illegal. To each is own but if the black suits come knocking at your door and hit you in the head with a billy club I'll say I told you so.
wont work on wm6 i think its written for older ppc2003 devices and the driver wil lbe the wrong one

First of all. You can go to jail, for hacking and hi-jacking your neighbor's wi-fi. It is totally ILLEGAL.
Second. Why not get yourself a 3G or 4G account with your phone company, and you can connect to the internet with your 3G.
yes its completely illegal in the states and you shouldn't do it. However if you don't care about breaking the law I don't see how it could be proven in court that you hijacked someones wifi with ur mobile device, and if it came down to it im sure cooking a new rom would delete any hidden data.
If I were you find other options. Like myself. I use my wifi at home and download all the necessary data i need for the day every morning. If i run into anything I need I simply go somewhere like a library or a coffee shop to access their wifi.
Take care and stay out of trouble.

In the UK it would come under the Misuse of Computers act 1990, in the section regarding unauthorised access to a secured computer system.
If I were using it, I would be trying to break into my own network to find out how easily someone else could achieve it.
Oh, and if you are using something like "The Cloud", I heard there was some sort of "Feature" whereby you could set up a proxy server (at home) on port 53 (DNS) and use it to connect out. All you then need to do is, when you're wanting to use the Cloud's wifi connection and you can't remember your details, change your proxy settings and away you go.
all i want to do is test my set up because my friend came over with his phone and got in to my secure wifi with out much a problem. so i just want to learn how to test my security for my wifi.

Why not ask your friends?
I think your friend must be using 3G network, which he can connect anywhere and anytime.

hi guys!
i guess everybody replyed with off topic posts; for sure the user knows it´s illegal, so why not help him instead of bugging him?
I´ve been searching on that subject and i found some interesting programs for ppc:

anyone got any of these to work yet?
Aiding and Abetting/Accessory
A criminal charge of aiding and abetting or accessory can usually be brought against anyone who helps in the commission of a crime, though legal distinctions vary by state. A person charged with aiding and abetting or accessory is usually not present when the crime itself is committed, but he or she has knowledge of the crime before or after the fact, and may assist in its commission through advice, actions, or financial support. Depending on the degree of involvement, the offender's participation in the crime may rise to the level of conspiracy.
For example, Andy draws a floor plan of a bank, knowing of Dan's intention to rob it. After Dan commits the robbery, Alice agrees to let him store the stolen money at her house. Both Andy and Alice can be charged with aiding and abetting, or acting as accessories to the robbery.

Of course, if those secure sites are using WPA, or better, WPA2 or a WPA-enterprise system, you're not going to simply sniff and crack a password. WEP is a rapidly dying standard, and for good reason.
Just saying, you may be going to a lot of effort for zero gain, unless you know for sure these are simple WEP-secured nodes.
And if nothing else, it's immoral - just like houses, people lock their doors to keep strangers out, and a stranger smashing open a window to get in deserves no aid in the act.

However, let's think about this for a second or two...all the security and locks in the world only truly accomplish one thing...they keep the honest people honest.
The bottom line is this...if someone wants in, it doesn't matter how many highly-paid security guards you have walking the perimeter, they're gonna get in.
Where there's a will...
True, but an honest person needn't help that "someone" to commit their dishonest act.
But you are right, thus far at least, any security system created by humans has proven to be compromisable (is that a word ?) by humans.
Of course, WEP was just a bad design, right from the get-go...
Just wondering how much data Google collects from our daily usage of Nexus One/Android, if any at all.
I'd be a little disconcerted if they sent back words from my text messages to "target ads to my liking," but anyone know exactly how it works?

You'd be surprised, didn't some country's news outlet already once run an Onion "report" as actual news?
Honestly.. as far as data and privacy goes...
People once use to be paranoid about "big brother" watching them...
However now, When you connect to the internet.. You ISP sees where your going.
When You SEARCH google/yahoo/bing/any search provider pays attention to where your going.
Your information is stored from everything google backs up into your webmail which we know of.. and not telling how many other places we don't know.
I'm not just picking on google here.. works the same for any cell phone..
We no longer have to worry about "big brother" peeking... its our own companies we pay money selling us out..And its just as possibly and likely with apple or any other cell phone, isp and service..
Never forget your being watched.
So I'm publishing a paid app, and discovered I need to provide an address which will be displayed publicly. This was apparently enforced around sept of 14, however I just learned about it.
I'm a college student, I don't own a business. The only address I have is my home. I've read many discussions on this, all starting out as a simple question and forming into a debate about privacy and why Google would require such an invasion of privacy for indie developers.
Can I use a PO box? What are my options for providing an address?
Anyone know what type of mail gets sent to this address? I'm assuming mostly advertisements?
I believe nobody is really interested in your home address, it's just one of those stupid things they want you to do. Like use Google+ for alpha/beta testing in Play Store

Right I've gathered its pretty pointless and just a formality required to sell in Europe. I've published my paid app a little over a week ago and haven't received any mail yet... Hope it stays that way.
So this might be total coincidence, but I don't think it is.
I got a Xiaomi phone last month, and I had to log into the Mi Account thing because I want to unlock the bootloader.
Only a day after logging into this Mi Account I've now had two spam SMS messages. One asking me to log into my mobile carreir website to unlock my account and stop it being terminated, this takes me to a website hosted in Moscow.
The second SMS asked me to do the same but with one of my bank cards. Now i've had spam before ... of course, but somehow these spammers know what mobile network I use and what bank I use. I find that very strange for them to be so accurate.
My phone number is also new, I got the SIM card at the same time as the phone. I think my details were sold by Xiaomi to someone, letting them know what network I use and probably what apps I use , which includes my bank.
Am I paranoid? or did the Chinese just sell all my data ?
MANY companies sell, or give, our details to marketing companies and other places that result in spam and other garbage. Definitely not limited to any country either, even large legit North American companies do it. :good:
I try to not give out my actual number or email to anyone...i use appointed junk email accounts when I can. I'll use companies phone numbers that have wronged me also, instead of my own. Lol

Sure I understand, and I didn't want to turn this into a debate on who it's better to be spied on by , The US or China.
But I've never had such spam after signing up to Google or something. I literally had to give my phone number it Xiaomi so that I could attempt to unlock the bootloader, so that I can get away from their stock ROM. I just can't believe that within days of signing up to what I thought was a legit service i'm getting SMS spam whereby they know what mobile carrier I use and what bank I use. That can only really come from my phone. I have nothing installed that is not from the play store either, so my suspicion is that Xiaomi sold my phone details to someone.

And I believe you are exactly right. :good:
I only wanted to point out that even my phone Carrier is guilty of the same. We got my 11 year old daughter talk and text on her phone and within a couple days she was getting spam texts as well. And I know she did not give out her number to anyone. I also got hammered with spam email after buying a new furnace from a very well known company, which I'm sure was not a coincidence. They likely gave my email away to spammers too.
So I have no doubt you are correct. But it seems its ok cause everyone is doing it. And we can't do much about it really, except protect our info when we can, which isn't always possible I know.

It's best to just use a throw-away email for these things. I pretty much have a dedicated Yahoo! mail account for questionable signups.

I did. but it requires you to register and validate a phone number with them and the spam i got was via SMS not email.
unfortunately I didn't have a spare SIM/number to use just for that.
Thanks for the information.
