MALWARE

weekly blog #4

Facebook and twitter are the SNS that are used a lot by people.
and it is the easiest way to keep in touch with people that you will not be able to see face to face.
but, as we discussed in previous courses such as  malware on facebook, it is a big problem.

I had never gotten any malware on facebook and never thought that I would get them.
but just a few days ago, I have gotten a message on my wall post from my hostfather in canada says..."Hey mai! ...."
the following is the picture of my facebook

the top comment is from my hostfather.
since I was looking at newsfeed before I see this message, I was not get hacked by malware!
lucky me :)
This is the first malware I have gottten in my life.
and I thought the malware exists rigt next to anyone.

Although the internet made people's life so much easier and so much more convenient, the internet has more possibility to hack anyone.

In addition, as you can see from my picture, it seems like my hostfather got hacked on his smartphone.
so I want to search more about malware on smartphone.

as I found some articles about malware on facebook, facebook smartphone malware introduces the problem of malware.
However, as I tried to find some other malwares on smartphones, seems like facebook is not the only one that smartphone users should be careful.
Apps are also should be paid attention as a dangerous malware as I read this article malware on smartphone rise up to 800.

the following was added on 11/17
Q: who did I get malware on facebook from?

1: my hostfather in canada
2: my hostfather in the states
3: my hostfather in China
4: my hostfather in Germany

MAI TYPOGRAPHY

so.. this is my last ds106 assignment!!!

MAI typography :) from typography
















this took about just one hour and I actually enjoyed creating it.
I was looking at other students' typographies and I thought they ALL are cool.
although you may be able to see a cross in this typography, i have to say that i am not a chrstian.
I just like the combination of cross and heart.
Since I wrote typography on midterm blog, I wanted to include japanese kanji in my typography.
its 舞.

In order to create this typography, I used vector image on aviary.
I had a problem of saving my typography because somehow my image had black and white check behind my image.
and RIMI MORITA helped me out to save it on white screen! thank you rimi!!
I hope you liked mai typography :)
