Wazzup Pilipinas!

Christmas is a time when most kids receive a significant amount of money coming from their loving parents and relatives who are more generous during the season, especially those who recently received their 13th month pay or Christmas bonus from their employers, or earned a very hefty sales from their business.

Many kids would surely plan on how they would start spending their money,, but for a talented and business savvy bunch called Kiddo-preneurs, it’s also a time to learn how to earn – and that’s exactly what they’re going to do at The Kiddo-preneur Christmas Bazaar on Sunday, November 23rd at the Glorietta Activity Center on Palm Drive (across the Raffles Hotel) in Makati.

For this annual kiddie entrepreneurial event, kids think of a business, set up shop, and sell their wares to eager holiday shoppers. Often times the Kiddo-preneurs work hand in hand with their siblings, classmates, other relatives and/or friends to run the business in a fun and profitable way.

Kaspersky Lab Survey Shows 1 in 8 Users Do Not Believe in Cyberthreats

A survey said that Internet users don’t believe that cyberattacks are real and are only overstated by Internet security companies like Kaspersky Lab. An estimate of 13% of Internet users do not believe that cyberattacks are real. This is according to a recent survey carried out jointly by B2B International and Kaspersky Lab.

They feel that the threat is exaggerated by Internet security companies. However, this complacency leaves them without any protection against a risk that threatens their data and virtual lives every day.

According to statistics, even people who accept that cyberthreats are real are not always convinced they need protection against these threats. Specifically, only 22% of respondents believe they can be targeted by cybercriminals.

However, in reality any person’s device could be of interest to attackers. Even if the owner does not store valuable data on the device and does not carry out financial transactions online, cybercriminals can make use of any computer, smartphone or tablet – perhaps by turning it into a bot that sends spam, carries out DDoS attacks or sends phishing links via instant messaging and email.

Almost a third (32%) of users are not worried that their online accounts could be compromised, or are even oblivious to this risk.
