DormVault Safe Laptop

Laptop

Yeah, you have a nice roommate who does nothing but use your hair cream, eat your foods, wear your shirts and worse of all, toying with your laptop. How frustrated can it be eh? If he gets to find some pictures or videos (Yeah you know what I mean don’t you?) the whole world will know who you are thanks to him. So what you gonna do to prevent that?

You might think that a cable-lock would be adequate to secure your laptop, but not only can those things just be clipped off with a cheap bolt-cutter. Even if they couldn’t get through the cable-lock, they can still turn on and use your laptop! No – that’s not really security. What you need is some serious armor. Something that can lock your lappy down, keeping it physically safe from pilfering hands, as well as potential data-thieves.

What we found is so simple and yet totally ingenious. A big metal box with a lock (simple), that bolts to your dorm-furniture from the inside (ingenious)! With the lid closed and locked, the wing-nuts that hold the vault in place get locked in with your valuables. It’s one of those “gah, I wish I had thought of that” things.

Big enough to hold a 17″ laptop and accessories, you could even put a portable drive or two in there, your phone – even your wallet if you were so inclined.

9 pounds of weight plus the feature of attaching it to any furniture makes it a must-buy if you want a safety place for your dear laptop.

Tips & Tricks

Website Hack

Website hacking has been around ever since w3 were introduced to the public in the 80s. While there may have been a time, at least in the early days, where hacking was rather simplistic and was comprised of little more than getting someone’s password and creating virtual “Graffiti” on their site, today’s hackers are much more sophisticated. More advanced techniques were introduced, which are dangerous and unpredictable, of course.

It’s important, first of all, to understand some statistics about website hacking. Around two thirds of website hacking is done not for ideological purposes or even graffiti, but rather for profit. People hack websites today in order to gather information they intend to use for nefarious purposes and for their own financial gain.

Strangely enough, then, just under half of all website hacking incidents occurred with non-commercial sites like governmental or educational sites. This may be, at least partially, because these types of organizations are more likely to report a website hacking attack, although that is not always the case.

When it comes to commercial sites, Internet-related companies tend to be top targets. This includes e-commerce sites, media sites, search engines, and even search providers. Part of the reason these companies are such a huge target is the fact that they often have databases full of all sorts of personal information that can generate billions of profits.
