#EU votes down net neutrality protection The European parliament has voted against a set of rules intended to safeguard"net neutrality"in the EU. A series of amendments to a regulation on how internet traffic is managed in Europe were rejected all by MEPS.
Proponents of net neutrality, who demand that web traffic be treated equally by networks, have criticised already the move.
Campaigners have said that provisions for protecting net neutrality in the existing text of the rules are too vague and many worry that it will be easy for internet firms to strike deals with content providers
in which customers can access certain sites and services for free outside their data plans, might become more widespread.
what we use the internet for in 2015 is vastly different from those early days when Tim Berners-Lee was inventing the web,
"commented Chris Green of business consultancy Lewis as he pointed out that the rise of video streaming had placed extra burdens on network companies."
"For them, a two-tier internet makes much more sense, "he told the BBC. What is net neutrality?
is how most people assume the internet works. That's the essence of net neutrality.
For big video streaming sites, the prospect is worrying. They could find themselves coughing up lots of money in fees simply to give their users the same experience as before.
no matter how popular the streaming sites become. How could the rules affect internet use? Part of the problem with the rules in their current form, argued Joe Mcnamee at the European Digital Rights campaign group,
is that they are ambiguous.""As the text currently stands there is no indication as to how much abuse of dominance would be permissible under this arrangement,
The sort of scenarios that could impact internet use include the creation of"fast lanes"and"slow lanes"or the creation of"zero ratings"in
which some services may be accessed without using up any of the internet user's data quota. In Belgium, for example, some mobile phone companies currently allow unlimited access to Twitter
and Facebook while all other data usage is part of a monthly plan. In a few countries such as The netherlands
such practices are allowed not. Who had argued that the amendments be adopted? Besides a host of net neutrality campaigners, inventor of the world wide web Sir Tim Berners-Lee had added his voice to those supporting the amendments."
"he wrote in a blog. And a string of tech companies signed a letter to the president of the European parliament, Martin Schulz,
what deals could be sought by internet firms with content providers. But in other countries, such as India,"zero rating"is allowed."

#US House rejects NSA phone data trawl The US House of representatives has voted to end the National security agency's bulk collection of Americans'phone records.
The bill would empower the agency to search data held by telephone companies on a case-by-case basis. Bulk collection was revealed in 2013 by ex-security contractor Edward Snowden.
The amendments would ban the agency's mass collection of telephone data-phone numbers, time and duration of calls-as well as emails and web addresses."
#Ashley Madison passwords cracked More than 11 million passwords stolen from the Ashley Madison infidelity dating website have been decoded,
When stolen data from the site was dumped first, the encrypted passwords were said to be almost uncrackable because of the way they were scrambled.
But programming changes by the site's developers meant more than a third of the passwords were protected poorly.
The Ashley Madison website was breached by a group of hackers called The Impact Team which stole gigabytes of data including login names and passwords of more than 30 million users.
However, an amateur password cracking group called Cynosure Prime looking through code also stolen from Ashley Madison realised that at some point the site changed the way passwords were stored.
In a blogpost, the group said it had found two insecure functions in the site code that meant it was"able to gain enormous speed boosts in cracking the bcrypt hashed passwords".
and changes the site made to passwords when they were entered by users. By focussing on these vulnerable steps the group has managed already to decipher 11.2 million passwords
The remaining passwords from the site are not susceptible to this attack because they were hashed by code lacking the insecure functions.
It speculated to news site Ars Technica that the insecure hashing system was introduced to ensure that users could log in to the site quickly y

a popular social coding site for programmers, is fighting a days-long cyberattack that reportedly originates in China.
The U s. coding site Github said on Sunday it was deflecting most of the traffic from the cyberattack that had caused intermittent outages.
The attackers paralyzed the site at times by using distributed denial of service, or DDOS, attacks, a technique commonly used to disrupt websites and computer networks,
according to the Wall street journal. They pushed massive amounts of traffic to Github by redirecting overseas users of the popular Chinese search engine Baidu Inc,
according to the Wall street journal. The newspaper said they targeted two Github pages that link to copies of websites banned in China-a Mandarin-language site from the New york times Co and Greatfire. org,
which helps Chinese users circumvent government censorship. A Beijing-based Baidu spokesman said a thorough investigation had determined it was neither a security problem on Baidu's side nor a hacking attack."
"We have notified other security organizations and are working to get to the bottom of this, "the spokesman said.
On its blog, Github said the attack began early on Thursday and involved"every vector we've seen in previous attacks as well as some sophisticated new techniques that use the web browsers of unsuspecting, uninvolved people to flood github. com with high levels of traffic.
Github said it believed the intent of the attack was to convince the company to remove a specific class of content.
#Facebook says drones could help extend internet access around the world A fleet of solar-powered drones could help provide high-speed internet to people around the world who currently live without it,

#The internet is almost out of IP ADDRESSES It turns out even the internet operates within finite dimensions.
The web is about to exhaust its supply of Internet Protocol (IP ADDRESSES. Now, technology companies are scrambling to get onto a new system to route internet traffic to the right place.
IP ADDRESSES are like the internet's phone numbers. Under the web's current system, there are billions of them. 3 billion to be exact.
But as more of us do more and more online, those addresses are being gobbled up. And soon, very soon, that supply will run out."

"Over time, you'll realize you wont be able to reach half the internet. You won't be able to watch the video you want to watch.
At issue is one of the weirdest quirks of the internet's history. In 1981, as the internet was being built,
volunteers created a system to direct traffic and make sure people landed on the page they were looking for.
They called it IPV4 (though they didn't build versions 1 2 or 3). They made 4. 3 billion IP ADDRESSES to handle all that traffic.
But in 1981, the internet was a mere shadow of what it is today. Now, everything on the internet has an IP ADDRESS:
laptops, mobile phones, tablets, cameras, even coffee makers and thermostats. By 2020, there will be an estimated 50 billion devices online.
And that old system is running out of room. So, a new system was built. The sheer size of IPV6 is staggering.
The Wall street journal claims that's enough to assign an IP ADDRESS to every atom On earth. But not everyone is rushing to adapt to the new technology.
The Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) says the transition to IPV6 has been slow at least in part because the changes are all happening behind the scenes"Nobody really knows about it.
But really IPV4 as a resource in any meaningful way is exhausted. And you can see that in that there is a secondary market that has sprung up,
the price per IP ADDRESS will only grow. In 2011, Microsoft bought up more than 660,000 IP ADDRESSES from Nortel for $7. 5 million US ($11. 36 each.
