Lapho konke kubonakala kungahambi kahle, kungahlala kubi kakhulu. Izikhathi eziningi sikholelwa ukuthi kwi-Intanethi kunzima ukuthi bacwaninge imininingwane yethu ngoba "akekho onendaba" ngempilo yomuntu onomsebenzi ojwayelekile, impilo ejwayelekile futhi engadumile. Yebo, yilokho kanye okwenza abantu abaningi bacabange ukuthi uma i-Facebook inedatha eyimfihlo futhi iyithengisela abantu besithathu njengecala elizwakalayo le Cambridge I-Analytica noma okufanayo ngeke kusizakale kwabanye, kepha kuphambene impela ngoba lolu lwazi lungasetshenziswa ngezindlela eziningi ngakho-ke kufanele sivikelwe futhi sivikele ubumfihlo bethu kancane.
Ngama-euro angama-500 kwiWebhu Elimnyama bangathenga imininingwane yakho eyimfihlo
Noma ngubani umuntu noma iyiphi inkampani, ngiyaphinda ngithi, noma ngubani wabo angathola idatha onayo ku-akhawunti yakho ye-Facebook ngendlela elula ngentengo yama-euro angama-500. Yilokhu umbiko omusha oshicilelwe yi I-Cyble cybersecurity firm, lapho etshela khona ukuthi kunengqikithi yama-akhawunti ayizigidi ezingama-267 adalulwe ukuthengiswa yinoma ngubani kwi-database ehlanganisa idatha ebalulekile yabantu, awekho amaphasiwedi ngokusho kukaCyble, kepha bazothola igama nesibongo sethu, i-Facebook ID, inombolo yocingo, i-imeyili, iminyaka nosuku lokuzalwa.
Konke lokhu kusho ukuthi ngaphezu kokuvezwa kuFacebook uqobo ukuthi selivele lenza elikufunayo ngale datha eliyigcinile empilweni yethu nokuthi liyaqhubeka nokugcina nsuku zonke, abanye abantu, izinkampani noma amazwe amaningi angafinyelela kalula idatha futhi ayisebenzisele noma yini abayifunayo. Lapho-ke lapho bekufonela bevela enkampanini izama ukukuthengisela umshuwalense, ucingo, ukufika ngobuningi kwama-imeyili anobugebengu bokweba imininingwane ebucayi noma okunye okunjalo akubonakali kukuxaka.
Yimaphi ama-akhawunti akulolu hlu noma asengozini?
Alukho uhlu oluthile Ngabantu abanedatha yabo "ethengiswayo" kulolu hlu olukhulu noma kunalokho i-database, okubonakala kucacile ukuthi abanayo idatha ye-password futhi ngaphandle kwamaphasiwedi alaba basebenzisi abakwazi ukwenza okuningi kunokugcina imininingwane yomuntu umuntu bese uyithengisa kumthengi ophakeme kakhulu kuleli cala ozokhokha ama-euro angama-500. Intengo yale datha ingabonakala ishibhile kepha ayixhomekile ezintweni eziningi futhi ezimweni ezaziwayo zama-Zoom account (enye ipulatifomu enezinkinga ezinkulu zokuphepha) cishe amasenti ama-2 nge-akhawunti ngayinye akhokhiwe ...
Kucatshangwa ukuthi wonke ama-akhawunti akule database ahleliwe, akunakwenzeka ukuthola kuqala ukuthi ngabe i-akhawunti yethu izobe ingaphakathi noma cha. Ngalesi sizathu kubalulekile ukuthi ngezikhathi ezithile siguqule iphasiwedi ye-akhawunti yethu futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke ungasebenzisi amaphasiwedi alula noma aphindwayo ezinsizakalweni ezahlukahlukene.
Ifike kanjani leyo datha kwiWebhu Emnyama?
Ukufinyelela kudatha kungenye inkinga eyinkinga ukuxazulula, kepha kusuka kuCyble uqobo baqinisekisa ukuthi ukuhlunga okungenzeka kwazo zonke lezi zigidi zedatha kuvela noma iyiphi i-API yomuntu wesithathu noma ukususwa kwewebhu okungeyona into edlula inqubo esetshenziswa yizinhlelo zesoftware ukukhipha imininingwane kumawebhusayithi nokuthola imininingwane yomuntu kusuka kubasebenzisi.
NgoDisemba odlule uchwepheshe wezokuphepha kwe-cyber UBob diachenko, sekuvele kutholwe okunye ukuvuza okufanayo ngendlela efanayo yokuthola imininingwane eyimfihlo yabasebenzisi futhi kwengezwa isihlungi ukubona ukutholakala okungenzeka kwedatha etholakalayo. Vele, ngeke kube yisikhathi sokugcina lapho sibona ukuhlaselwa okufanayo kwidatha yezigidi zabasebenzisi futhi ngenxa yalesi sizathu kufanele sixwayiswe futhi sizame ngazo zonke izindlela esinazo ezandleni zethu ukunciphisa izingozi ukuze idatha yethu kuFacebook umshwalense ongaba khona kakhulu.
Ngokunengqondo inketho engcono kakhulu ukubeka eceleni le nethiwekhi yokuxhumana nabantu esivele inezinkinga ezinde zokuphepha emlandweni wayo, yize kuyiqiniso ukuthi futhi inezigidi zabantu ezibambekile abathi ngishilo ekuqaleni kwale ndatshana: «idatha yami ayisho ungakuthandi muntu ngoba angiyena umuntu owaziwayo ». Kungenzeka ukuthi idatha yakho ibaluleke kakhulu ukwedlula indlela ocabanga ngayo njengoba ukukhangisa nokwebiwa kobunikazi kungukuhleleka kosuku futhi lapho bethola i-akhawunti yethu ye-imeyili, inombolo yocingo, ikheli kanye neminye imininingwane yomuntu ngokungemthetho, bangahlala njalo besihlasela ngokuhlasela ukuthola eminye imininingwane ebaluleke njengakwisikweletu sethu ikhadi, ama-akhawunti asebhange noma okufanayo.
