How To Secure Your Website

Today we’re gonna be discussing on internet security, preferably, tips to securing your website from malicious attacks.

You probably might have been asking questions like:

• What are the ways of securing a website?
• How to secure your website for free
• How to protect your website from hackers and malicious attacks

Do You Really Think Securing Your Website Doesn't Worth?

You may be thinking that hackers or rather attackers can't consider your website as one of their relevant tool. Let me tell you, no website is useless to hackers.

You may not have those sensitive info attackers are searching for but your server might be useful to them as it can be used to spread spam, malicious files or even bitcoin mining. Are you surprised?

And if you are running an online store, then your customer’s sensitive info might be at risk if all you do is selling online without paying little of your attention to your website’s privacy and security.

Here Are Tips To Secure Your Website From Attackers

Easily Detect Vulnerability Using A Website Scanner

Using a website scanner will help search for vulnerability threat and other issues running in your website’s background.

There are different kind of Website Scanners, we have the; external, internal and penetration malware scanners.

An external malware scanner functions similarly to search engine bots, they come into a website and crawl every web pages in search for malware or any malicious link available. Meanwhile, internal malware scanner will only read your website’s source code. This is because, hackers can eventually inject bad scripts into your database using any HTML Form Field element available on your website, for example, a login form. Such practice is called SQL Injection by which hackers can access either your personal/sensitive information or your customers’, modify your content or even bring down your website standard.

Penetration testers on the other hand, searches for weakness or loop hole in your website’s source code.

Always Keep Your Software Updated

You shouldn't be told this before you act. You should learn to make it a duty by subsequently checking for updates of your employed software -What am I talking about?

I mean the software you employed on your website such as CMS and your server operating system.

Updating these software will eventually block or repair any security breach initially present so hackers won’t be able to break into your website.

Employ An Automated Malware Removal

This is compulsory for every website owner as an automated website scanner will unintentionally get rid of threats from your website immediately they are detected.

A good example of an automated website scanner should;

• Protect your database from SQL injections,
• Prevent your website from being in search engine blacklist,
• Notify you of any changes in file and File Transfer Protocol (FTP),
• Secure your server ports preventing unauthorised users from accessing your site.

World’s first foldable smartphone unveiled; not by Samsung or Huawei

Image credit: royole.com

This came up so surprisingly to everyone that the first foldable smartphone was unveiled on November 1 without any previous leak or announcement of an incoming beast smartphone.

You think this foldable phone was unveiled by Samsung or LG or Huawei?

You guess right as everyone would think, but it's none of the above listed tech companies. “A start-up company has taken the lead of foldable smartphones.”

Royole, founded by Stanford University graduates in 2012, unveiled the first foldable smartphone in the world called FlexPai at an event in Beijing on Wednesday, 31 October. However, shipping of the device will begin in December.

FlexPai can be seen as a smartphone and a tablet, its uniqueness is as a result of it being able to fold across its display to a portable pocket-sized smartphone. Meanwhile, it behaves as a tablet when its.

This has been Samsung’s dream since 2008 when it released its prototype of what a foldable smartphone would look like. Samsung is close to achieving this goal as the company is all set to launch its first foldable smartphone but has missed its chance of becoming the first in the world.

The device occupies 7.8 inches from corner-to-corner with a 1920 x 1440 screen resolution (4:3 aspect ratio). Its adjustment behaviour is just perfect, when on half fold, all displaying information is pictured on half of the screen.

When folded, three screens are formed; primary display (810 x 1440 with 16:9 aspect ratio), secondary display (720 x 1440 with 18:9 aspect ratio) and an edge display (390 x 1440 resolution, 21:6 aspect ratio).

According to Royole, you could fold FlexPai display more than 200,000 times before it would likely reach its break limit.

Another high-spec feature of the device is its dual-lens camera setup which consist of a 20MP telephoto lens and a 16MP wide-angle lens. Royole says you can bend these camera lenses to shoot objects at special angles.

Memory-wise, the phone is packed with 6GB or 8GB RAM and a storage of 128GB, 256GB or 512GB.

How Much Is The FlexPai Foldable Smartphone?

The price of this device ranges between £1,000-£1,450 in the UK. In the US, only the 128GB and 256GB storage variants are available with their prices tagged at $1,318 and $1,469 respectively.

Bug! Early adopters of the Pixel 3 & 3XL are having buzzing speakers, poor memory management issues

It's just a few days back when the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL were officially announced and today reports are flying to the internet that these Pixel smartphones are entitled to have some malfunctions.

Early users and reviewers of the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL phones reported that some features are not working properly especially with the larger Pixel 3XL which majority of the reports claim that the speakers are buzzing and distorting, especially the bottom one; a similar issue previously observed on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2XL models.

Further explaining the reports, there’s buzzing at certain frequencies which can be observed when apps using a specific frequency in sound production is in use.

Again, it was observed that the lower speaker is louder than the upper speaker, we initially thought it's an issue, however,  it was addressed by Google saying it’s their way of styling/designing the pixel 3 and 3XL devices.

Finally, the Pixel 3 and 3XL were reported to be suffering from low RAM management. Especially with the Pixel 3 which users claim apps are restarting or force closing, certain apps are closing other apps, apps are dropped from RAM due to low memory management.

Other minor reports include Camera issue which are probably caused by the poor memory management.

Hopefully Google will handle these issues probably by introducing new software update. However, we’ll update this post as soon as there's a fix to the issues, be it temporary or permanent.
