The Best Data Center & Data Recovery Information

Jake D asked:


I have two accounts on my laptop and I need to take data from the first and put it all onto the second, making the first one just an Admin account because of Vista’s ridiculous security. Is that possible?

How much data will the SS office give you about an applicant? Full name, gender and date of birth? If so should this be considered a privacy or disclosure issue?

Our K-12 school currently uses a certain web-based company to manage our vast amount of data. This includes personal information, grades, bank accounts, etc.

Today, I noticed that an employee of their company posted a request for help on a forum. Apparently, he was having some trouble with a database connection script. While this is not a problem in itself, the employee posted the entire connection script without blanking out the passwords. The user name and password that is in the script is the master password for the company. It not only has access to our database, but hundreds of other schools as well.

While this probably was unintentional, the fact remains that it was done. We have had other security issues with this company in the fact, too. This lets anyone with knowledge enough to setup a ODBC connection read/write/delete our data. What are our options? Can we sue for Breach of Confidence? Maybe a class-action lawsuit with other schools? Thanks for any advice!

Is it possible to hack a network instead of a computer so that all the data’s transfered thru a sniffer (for example)? I have a secured (WPA-PSK) wireless network with 4 other computers using that wireless netwrok. I have a firewall (ZoneAlarm) on the highest settings (stealth mode) on each computer as well. I use firefox, don’t open any email attachments and am very specific about whose email I choose to open. How else can any hacker intrude? Would it still be possible to install a prog remotely (without a popular trojan perhaps). Wouldn’t I be able to see if some sort of notification if that were to happen? I’m paranoid because I know some people that always end up doing the same things as me because of the activity on my computer (& they’re shameless to copy what I do and then tell me about it instead). I think they are tracking what sites I visit, what I type (including forms on an internet browser, what I view, etc. I’d like expert advice from a network security analyst possibly.
So those open ports vulnerable even with a firewall? Would they be outgoing or incoming ports? and are they UDP or TCP? Because I can list ports I want to block on Zone Alarm. But is it even effective blocking through ZA? What’s the best way to scan and block those ports?
And what are the following ports for (listed in ZA firewall settings)?
-outgoing NetBIOS (ports 135, 137-139, 445)
-incoming ping (ICMP Echo)
-outgoing ping (ICMP Echo)
-other incoming ICMP
-other outgoing ICMP
-incoming IGMP
-outgoing IGMP
-incoming UDP
-outgoing UDP
-incoming TCP
-outgoing TCP

And which ones should I block without completely comprising functionality?

The past couple of days when i start my pc, the following pop up titled-”Backweb Security Notice” comes on when I start up PC.
“A new certificate has arrived for channel ‘compaq connections.’
It will be used to digitally sign channels contents. Do you wish to accept this cert. (yes/no).
The ‘certificate’ reads as follows:
“This certificate published by Consumer PC Hewlett-Packard Cupertino CA , US as a publisher under credentials issued by Secure Servier Certificate Authority RSA data Security Inc. US Expires March 25, 2005″
. On the bottom it reads:
“Attributes (check mark) automatically trust all content signed by this publisher. Choosing this option will enable InfoPaks by this publisher to perform operations such as running plug ins or executibles without obtaining further confirmation.”
When I click no and X off the pop up, the system error reporting pop up comes up.
Also note the exp. date of March 2005 above as stated on this.
Am I correct this is suspicious?
how to get rid of this from popping up when i start my PC?

Well my Norton Internet Security 2005 is working fine except “Intrusion Detection”. While I try turning it on, it gives me an error message saying “An error has occurred. If this error occurs again, uninstall and reinstall the product. I can’t do this because Norton is already pre-installed onto my computer. Although the only way to fix this issue would be a Factory Default. I don’t really want to do this because I don’t want to lose my data. If anyone has a solution please tell me. Thankyou in advanced.

Also, whenever I open the Internet Security, it gives me the same message. Everything works fine still, except “Intrusion Detection”.
