Security in Domain Registration - what’s all the hype about?
When it comes to registering your domain name and establishing your presence online, there are fundamental aspects that need to be taken into consideration in order to prevent unnecessary hurdles from affecting both you and your customers.
Whether you are a small or large company, or simply interested in setting up your own personal website, what you need are effective solutions and the correct business tools at a respectable price to offer you peace of mind. I would strongly recommend not looking for cheap imitations of registrars offering you the best quality at ridiculously cheap prices as they don’t tend to go hand in hand. You should be looking for a registrar that will provide you a service that offers guaranteed performance, support, reliability, user-friendliness and, above all, SECURITY.
“But surely security is offered by all, right?”, I hear you ask. Although this statement is generally correct, this security aspect is often neglected by some registrars, even the top dogs in the business. Below are some key areas that you should consider regarding registration security, and will hopefully explain - without all the technical jargon - and assist you in deciding which registrar company suits your needs and expectations.
Why is security so important? Security issues adopted by the principal registration companies guarantee that your domain is safeguarded against domain highjackers or others who want to transfer your domain(s) to another registrar without your specific authorization. The knock-on effects will not only imply loosing your domain name but will also result in a costly downtime of yours and your customers’ websites. Furthermore, you could even look at it as a direct attack on your online identity, the traffic base you have worked so hard to attract on the reputation of your service and products.
Password based security Let us take the example of Anakena.com, a leading European registrar whose company policy places an important emphasis on security, real-time customer support and a multilingual service. They use a system whereby all your communications are encrypted, which means that when you access your Anakena personal account page you are automatically transferred to a secured connection using the secured protocol https. This measure has been put in place to prevent possible uses of ’sniffers’ in your online connection. Furthermore, their security procedure also prevents anyone using your email to reset your password. The procedure is simple, and requests that all those clients who have forgotten their password need to answer 2 questions before receiving an email to reset their new one. If that security hurdle isn’t enough to keep the most demanding client satisfied, then knowing that his/her password is then encrypted on the Anakena servers, where nobody is able to see it, is just another reassuring and preventive measure. As the saying goes, it is always better to prevent than to cure (especially if the curing period comes too late!).
Payment Payment has always been a soft spot, due to the fear of your bank details, access codes and personal information falling into unknown hands. Not only this, but the majority of people who purchase a product or service over the web also want to know exactly how much it will cost (be sure to read the small print), what alternative payment methods exist and when you will get invoiced. This equation might simplify this:
Consolidated Payment Options* + Secure & Automated Invoicing = RELIABLE PAYMENT PROCESS YOU CAN TRUST
* Direct Debit, Wire Transfer and PayPal
On another note, you probably ask yourself, “Who keeps records of my credit card details?”. Well, Anakena, for example, doesn’t. Every payment is made with your bank directly and they do not have access to your card details. For them, there is nothing safer that your own bank processing your personal banking needs.
Account Lock Another important factor you should consider when choosing the right registrar for you is the option of locking your account. The top players in the registration business may not even offer this feature in their service, resulting in greater exposure of your site to “domain predators” and infringing on the safety elements that a registrar might promise. A lock on the account allows only the website owner to modify features, personal information, and even transfer domains to another registrar/customer. This locked status will remain until the owner wishes to remove it. The only downside to this is that a registrar cannot modify illicit signups where a customer doesn’t include valid information. In the case of Anakena, for example, this information is screened upon registration and the company will contact the customer to request further information in order to complete the signup process. Not only is the company looking out for the interest of the customer but also the partnership it hopes to consolidate in the future.
Email notification The leading registrar companies, and the vast majority of service providers online, have automated email notification systems set up that send you relevant news or updates to the website, your account interface, etc. However, there have been examples in the past where companies or individuals have not been informed instantly of technical aspects or modifications to the service they receive from the particular registrar. It may even be a question of days before they actually realise that something has been modified, caused by a failure to communicate effectively with their customers. But those companies who do, and devote paramount importance to keeping their clients informed are consolidating themselves in the market thanks to growing customer loyalty and a healthy increase in their customer base.

Hook Switch Bypass Phone Bugs
There are many types of phone bugs out there. This is because the phone is one of the easiest things to bug. Plus, because phones are practically necessary in our lives, and we use them to communicate on a very regular basis, phone bugs just make sense. In addition to making use of covert listening devices in terms of using a phone bug, it is quite likely that at some point you will become the subject of a phone tap. So, in order to be able to get a good listen when you need to, and to be aware of what might possibly used against you sometime down the line, this article is about the hook switch bypass phone bug. These types of phone bugs are especially useful because they allow you to not only hear what is being said over the phone, but also effectively act to allow you to monitor the entire room. Someone you are keeping watch on, for evidence or for information, may not use the phone for important communications for fear that there is a phone tap. Luckily, if you have a hook switch bypass phone bug in place, you can listen in to everything that is going on in the room. Hook switch bypass phone bugs work by modifying a part of the actual telephone. This can be done to the transmitter (the carbon microphone) or to the receiver (the dynamic earpiece). You make the modifications, allowing the phone set to pick up what is being said in the house. Then, the phone set, because it is attached to the wall jack telephone cord, sends what is heard down the phone line to a listening post. There is no need for the phone to be off the hook for this to work. Even when the phone is hung up, it will still pick up sounds and send them down the line. You can see why these phone bugs are useful. The tough part is getting in and modifying the phone. However, with a little ingenuity it can be done rather quickly, and it is somewhat difficult to detect without the right equipment. If you are worried about being on the other end of a hook switch bypass, you can get a detector designed to find phone bugs to help you ensure the area is secure.

Be An Effective Mobile Phone Spy
There are many ways to listen for important information that you can use in the future. Because most people own mobile phones, and because they are on the rise as a primary phone, it can be worth your while to learn to be a mobile phone spy. Private investigators and bounty hunters can use the techniques of a mobile phone spy in order to learn information for their clients and gather evidence. People can be quite unguarded while speaking on a cell phone; it can be the perfect way to hone your spying skills.
The effective mobile phone spy has the right equipment. Luckily, it is usually easier to get the right spy equipment in the cell phone department than it is in many other ways. Additionally, cell phone spy equipment is often less expensive than other equipment. If you are just getting your PI or bounty hunter business off the ground, starting out with some good cell phone bugging devices is a good way to start. It will help you get your feet wet and prove to clients that you have good equipment.
Another thing needed is to ensure that you do not miss important phone calls. For many a mobile phone spy, this ties right into having the right equipment. There are two different cell phone bugs that call you when a phone call is made. The Spy Matrix Cell Phone will give you a rig whenever a call is made, allowing you to listen in on the conversation without constantly checking to see if a call is being made. Likewise, basic cell phone bugs that share with the home phone can also call you whenever the phone line becomes active. This allows you to do more than one thing while waiting for the call.
Finally, the effective mobile phone spy has a means of recording the conversations she or he hears. This can be recording equipment attached to your end of the device, or it can be transmitted to a recording assembly (if you are using a phone that picks up signals near someone using a cell phone). It is always good to have the conversations available as evidence when you are a mobile phone spy.

Who Uses Spy Listening Devices
Spy listening devices are more common than one might think.
In fact, there is a wide variety of people who make use of spy
listening devices in order to find out the information they need
to know. These listening devices (some of them used in covert
operations) are perfectly legal, and it is even possible for you
to make use of them on information gathering forays of your own.
The most obvious set of people who use spy listening devices are
law enforcement and other government types. It is probably no
surprise to you that the police, F.B.I. and C.I.A. make use of
covert listening devices as they perform surveillance. The
Department of Homeland Security also makes use of these devices,
as does the military. Even though possessing these devices is
not against the law, these law enforcement agencies are required
to jump through some legal hoops when they want to use them in
conjunction with investigating civilians. Of course, in other
countries and in times of war, sometimes the listening devices
are used without as many stringent regulations. Other
professionals who use spy listening devices include private
investigators (P.I.) and bounty hunters. P.I.s uses them to
gather information for clients. Most of the time it is evidence
for use in civil court cases. Bounty hunters may make use of
listening devices to help them gather information on the
whereabouts of their quarry. In either case, true professionals

like pens to large listening devices that you can point at a
location and listen in from 300 yards away. (c) 2005 Copyright

Protect Yourself from Cell Phone Bugs
Do you have conversations over the phone that you do not want others to hear? If so, then it may be necessary to protect yourself from cell phone bugs. Cell phone bugs are just as high tech as many other bugs, and can pose even more of a threat, since they are harder to detect. Depending on the bug that is used to listen to your conversation, you might not even realize that someone nearby can hear every word crystal clear.
Even if most of your conversations are of little importance, it is a good idea to make sure that you are well protected against cell phone bugs when you make a vital phone call. It is possible to decrease your chances of being listened to if you follow a few simple steps to avoid eavesdroppers.
Go somewhere where you know you’ll be alone. Some cell phone bugs intercept signals being sent. A person who looks like she or he is speaking on a cell phone has a special device that allows him or her to hear what you are saying on the phone. Additionally, make sure you are in a place where you can watch for newcomers.
Beware the charging or forgotten phone. Many cell phone bugs look just like they are charging or like their owner forgot them. If see a cell phone charging or lying nearby unattended, go someplace else. Someone may be listening in via the innocent looking phone.
Don’t accept new cell phones as gifts. The latest in cell phone bugs is a phone that works like a regular phone, but has a secret access number. If someone gives you a cell phone as a gift, be aware that he or she may be able to dial the phone and not only listen to what you saying while you are on the phone, but activate the cell phone’s microphone in order to hear anything that is going on inside the room.
With a little vigilance, you can avoid eavesdroppers through cell phone bugs. Best of all, if you use ingenuity you can “plant” false information for eager ears. You can outsmart surveillance and the use of cell phone bugs.
