Sony's Accident

 Today, I will introduce about "Sony lost a lot of personal information of their customers".  77 million individual information and 10 million credit card numbers flowed out by unlawful computer access accident of networking "PlayStation network (PSN)" of game machine PlayStation 3 (PS3) of Sony and PlayStation Portable (PSP).

 First, they confirmed abnormal movement to the server and began investigating on April 20. Second, they discovered by there was unlawful computer access on from April 17th to April 19th, and stopped the service of PSN for the serious investigation. Third, they asked that other analysis investigation company in the addition. Fourth, the leakage of information turned out in the result of the investigation. And, attention was drawn on the website.

Individual information that seems that it flowed out by the investigation of Sony it is "Name", "Country and address", "Mail address", "Birthday", "distinction of sex", "Log in password of the PlayStation network", and "Online ID of the PlayStation network".

 I think that Sony is invaded by hacker because the vulnerability was not dealt with. If countermeasures were neatly done, unlawful computer access might not have been done. So I think that we need to change my password of account, confirm usage condition of credit card and pay attention　the swindle. Moreover, it is necessary to change the password shared by other services. Therefore, Sony should make an effort more to regain the trust of the user side. How did you like my blog ? Thank you for reading to the last minute.

NGO's Efforts

Today, I will introduce about NGO. The NGO is Non-Governmental Organizations and nonprofit organization that does activity related to problems of reduction of forces, hunger relief, and environmental protection, etc.

 First, Japanese nongovermental organization provide picture books for Afghanistan girls. And picture books are kept in communiy library and are becoming popular with children in Afghanistan. About one hundred children age up to twelve visit a community library in Jalalabad, some one hundred thirty kilometers east of Kabul, every day. Afghanistan girls are delight go to the library.

 And parents could not go to school because of the long war. So picture books are important since they teach children morals on behalf of their parents. Shanti initially brought picture books from Iran and pasted stories translated into the local Pashto language. But some Afghans balked at them due to the difference in religious sects and cultures. So the NGO decided to make picture books containing local folklore that Afghan children know well and could be accepted by the community. Many people in Jalalabad have not seen picture books. Some parents asked the association if the books ran counter to the Islamic ban on idolatry.

 I think that NGO try to make various picture books for Afghanistan girls because they can not receive an education in her school.  And Afghanistan girls need cooperation of NGO. Therefore, NGO must continue to make good picture books for her.

 Finally, Helping those suffering from poverty and disasters is as easy as buying a book. Proceeds from sales of books with the Chabo! logo go to charity. "I think we authors and people who can buy books at bookstores are fortunate (compared with sufferers of poverty and disaster). Asking myself what we can do for those people, I thought this kind of program can help them stand on their own feet," said Kazuyo Katsuma.

 So NGO may sell books (Chabo!) to collect and contribute money and NGO think that the poor and needly want to be more happy. Therefore, their effort are very important in future.
