Google 7.68 Terabits Per Second Cable

Search giant finalizes plan for Pacific fiber being ran.

The recent quakes in Taiwan highlighted a lack of redundancy in the Pacific, where fiber runs have about half the capacity found across the Atlantic. A number of companies are planning to rectify that -- including Verizon, who is working with a number of companies to run an 11,000 mile, five terabits per second (Tbps) cable from the United States (Oregon) directly to mainland China, Taiwan and South Korea.

Google is also laying Pacific fiber as part of a consortium named Unity, formed alongside six international companies. The coalition is building a 6,200 mile, 7.68Tbps capable fiber run from Los Angeles to Chikura, located off the coast near Tokyo. Google today announced they finalized the deal on the $300 million project. According to the press release Trans-pacific bandwidth demand continues to surge:

According to the TeleGeography Global Bandwidth Report, 2007, Trans–Pacific bandwidth demand has grown at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 63.7 percent between 2002 and 2007. It is expected to continue to grow strongly from 2008 to 2013, with total demand for capacity doubling roughly every two years. "The Unity cable system allows the members of the consortium to provide the increased capacity needed as more applications and services migrate online, giving users faster and more reliable connectivity," said Unity spokesperson Jayne Stowell.

It's obviously a nice deal for Google, given the content operator gets access to bandwidth at build cost. NEC Corporation and Tyco Telecommunications will build the fiber run starting immediately, and it should be completed by 2010, assuming that the undersea cable cutting bogeyman leaves them alone.

Microsoft recommends against usage of SHA-1

Microsoft is advising its customers to stop using the SHA-1 hashing algorithm in cryptographic applications such as SSL/TLS encryption and code signing.

In a security advisory issued by the company, Microsoft said that it would stop recognising certificates using the algorithm after January 1, 2016. After this date, certificate authorities (CAs) that issue certificates under the Windows Root Certificate Program will only be able to issue SHA-2 certificates.

According to Microsoft, SHA-1 is used in 98 percent of all certificates issued worldwide. However, it also claims that since 2005 researchers have discovered collision attacks against the algorithm that mean it no longer meets its security standards. Although the announcement to drop SHA-1 comes today, the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) has been advising government agencies to move to SHA-2 since December 2011.

The ASD also has a slightly different opinion of when the collision attacks were first known, stating that "theoretically impressive attacks" against SHA-1 were known since 2004, but that they were not practical to implement.

ASD has already removed the "weakened but not broken" SHA-1 algorithm from use in its Information Security Manual.

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology, which published the algorithm, also stated in September 2012 that US federal agencies should stop using SHA-1.

33 Million Domains Registered in 2007

Report released by VeriSign, shows that over 33 Million domain names were registered in 2007, bringing the total up to 153million domains.

Below is a summary of the report:

In the last quarter of 2007, the base of domain name registrations grew 27 percent over the fourth quarter of 2006 and five percent over the third quarter of 2007… The total base of Country Code Top Level Domain Names (ccTLDs) was 58 million, a 33 percent increase year over year and a six percent increase quarter over quarter. Across all of the gTLDs and ccTLDs, .com has the highest base followed by .de (Germany), .net and .cn (China). The fifth spot is shared by .uk (United Kingdom) and .org. with approximately the same size base of domain name registrations.

This release also states that the adoption of IPv6 has been relatively slow in the United States as compared to Asia and Europe. More than 100 domain name registries (i.e. top-level domain managers) support IPv6 for name servers and DNS queries including VeriSign who has supported IPv6 for .com and .net since 2002. The root name servers were enabled for IPv6 in February 2008 with the inclusion of IPv6 addresses for six of the thirteen root servers, including the A and J root servers operated by VeriSign.

微軟證實Hotmail個人資料遭竊取

根據BBC（英國廣播公司）報導，微軟公司的Windows Live Hotmail遭到網絡黑客入侵，超過萬個hotmail客戶資料遭到竊取，這些資料多數來自歐洲，微軟並證實遭竊取的密碼都是正確的。

科技網誌neowin.net說，黑客除了盜取帳號密碼之外，又把盜取到的資料全數公布到網路上，超過上萬個hotmail帳戶的細節，2009年10月1日被貼上一個讓人分享密碼的網站pastebin.com。

Neowin聲稱這些帳戶可能是被黑或是利用網路釣魚搜集而來。網路釣魚攻擊者利用發送釣魚郵件給受害者，受害者點選後，會被導向釣魚網頁，就會洩漏了個人的機密資訊給予攻擊者，如個人的信用卡號碼、密碼、帳號等。

微軟目前表示，他們已經知悉此事，並正在積極了解及處理中。這件事透露出網路資訊安全的疑慮，若果個人資料遭到竊取，可能會有更多後續麻煩的事端。

C2C (Consumer-to-Consumer)

C2C (Consumer-to-consumer) electronic commerce involves the electronically-facilitated transactions between consumers through some third party. A common example is the Ads28.com, EBay, Yahoo!, in which a consumer posts an item for sale and other consumers bid to purchase it; the third party generally charges a flat fee or commission. The sites are only intermediaries, just there to match consumers, they have do not check quality of product being offered.

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)

Tagged Image File Format (abbreviated TIFF) is a file format for mainly storing images, including photographs and line art. Originally created by the company Aldus, jointly with Microsoft, for use with PostScript printing, TIFF is a popular format for high color depth images, along with JPEG and PNG.

TIFF format is widely supported by image-manipulation applications such as Photoshop by Adobe, GIMP, Ulead PhotoImpact, and Photo-Paint as well as Paint Shop Pro by Corel, by desktop publishing and page layout applications, such as QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign, and by scanning, faxing, word processing, optical character recognition, and other applications.

TIFF was chosen as the native format for raster graphics in the NeXTstep operating system, and this TIFF support carried over into Mac OS X. Adobe Systems, which acquired the PageMaker publishing program from Aldus, now controls the TIFF specification, although it has not had a major update since 1992 (several technical notes have been published with minor extensions to the format).

Search Engine

A search engine is an information retrieval system designed to help find information stored on a computer system, such as on the World Wide Web, inside a corporate or proprietary network, or in a personal computer. The search engine allows one to ask for content meeting specific criteria (typically those containing a given word or phrase) and retrieves a list of items that match those criteria. This list is often sorted with respect to some measure of relevance of the results. Search engines use regularly updated indexes to operate quickly and efficiently.

B2B (business-to-bussiness)

Business-to-business electronic commerce (B2B) typically takes the form of automated processes between trading partners and is performed in much higher volumes than business-to-consumer (B2C) applications.

For example, a company that makes chicken feed would sell it to a chicken farm, another company, rather than directly to consumers. An example of a B2C transaction would be a consumer buying grain-fed chickens at a grocery store.

B2B can also encompass marketing activities between businesses, and not just the final transactions that result from marketing. B2B also is used to identify sales transactions between business. For example a company selling photocopiers would likely be a B2B sales organisation as opposed to a B2C (business to consumer) sales organisation.

• 系統被記錄的訂單並不表示成功收取貨款，如果您的訂單是透過付款閘道收款，請登入付款閘道供應商的帳戶，並確認款項收妥方可處理產品的付運


• 請細心核對每項訂單的資料，包括顧客資料、要求的貨運地點、帳單資料等，若有需要，請跟顧客聯絡以確認資料無誤，並且在產品付運前確保已收妥貨款


• 建議在接到新訂單後，若資料無誤，保留二十四小時後才處理付運，因中途若出現問題也有機會處理


• 如訂單透過線上付款閘道收款，請比對客戶的IP國家與訂購者國家是否一致，或利用付款閘道供應商的工具檢視國家地區資料，若有懷疑，請參考付款閘道供應商的指引向顧客索取身份証明的文件，以減少網上詐騙帶來的損失


• 在一般情況下，“待完成的訂單”是顧客在結帳時系統預先記錄該訂單資料，若順利完成線上付款交易，將自動轉為“已記錄的訂單”，但若顧客沒有完成線上付款或過程中出現問題，則訂單型式仍處於“待完成的訂單”，如檢查線上付款無誤，管理員應手動進行確認

Setup fetch email using Netvigator

Why Should I Use Fetch Mail Instead of an Email Forwarder?

We are committed to improving the stability of services.

Unfortunately, it is very common for mail forwarding to cause blacklisting with many large email providers. This most commonly occurs when large amounts of mail are forwarded and then marked as spam after it has been received in the end user's inbox. This results in our server's sending reputation being penalized since it was the last server to send the mail. Ultimately, our server will be blacklisted with the email provider and it will affect all of other users on the same server.

A solution to this is to disabled mail forwarding altogether. change to using mail fetcher, you can access mail in a other system without having the mail routed through that system's server. This way, you can mark a message as spam without it affecting our email server's reputation.

The instructions below provide steps on how to fetch mail from our server so you can access them via Netvigator Mail.

Once Mail Fetcher is set up, Netvigator will check those accounts on a regular basis, and new mail will appear automatically in Netvigator mail.

• Log into your Netvigator account. https://www.netvigator.com/chi/email.php
• Click Preferences and locate the Accounts section.
