Cyber Security is very much hot topic for discussions these days. There
are numerous online banking frauds, online shopping portal frauds and online job
frauds and so on and so forth. The real issue today is everyone has accepted
the benefits on online transaction from their own views and neglecting the security
issues to be taken care of by others.
Like in an old story of Elephant being described by seven blind
men, everyone thought his description of elephant perfect, as it was based on
that part of elephant which that blind person got hold of. So naturally the
person touching the leg thought it to be very strong and the person catching
hold of trunk of elephant certainly described it at very thin and weak.
Cyber security scenario is similar to this description by seven
blind persons, the only difference is, here people look from their own
perspective and firmly disbelieve the views of others.
The recent example of issuing warning to CM’s Official Facebook page
being vulnerable to hacking is such small example which shows what is the
concern for security?
It is sorrow state of situation wherein the page with more than 1.3
million following is at the mercy of good will of Hackers!!!! I am really and
deeply concerned about the same.
The owners of the page are not aware about the possible
consequences of any such attack from unwanted elements and ignoring the
security signals and warnings provided to them, time and again. This is very
disturbing and worrying signal as they even don’t have that acumen to understand
what is written between the lines.
Were they ever thought of what could be possible fallout of losing
control of such a powerful Facebook page? Can they foresee what will happen if
the control of this Facebook page is snatched by some unscrupulous element?
And that’s why my Head hangs in shame!!!
Why we are doing this thankless job of intimating and advising
about issues concerning Cyber Security?
When Cyber Security is nobody’s baby who we are to look after and take
care for the same????
If people are so fascinated and charmed by Cyberspace and ready to
come forward only to celebrate every time the reasonable restrictions are removed
but not coming forward to have some self regulation which will take us in
direction of more safe and secured Cyberspace God alone can save the
netizens!!!!
With such visionary at the helm of affairs of such responsible
social media pages REALLY MY HEAD HANGS IN SHAME!!!!!!!
