“You’ve been hacked.” This must be the most feared sentence your IT guy can deliver to you, especially if you do most of your business online. It is even worse you hear it from a customer first. Your first reaction should not be panic, but you do need to react quickly. It will cause you some short term harm, but it is not life threatening.
As an online entrepreneur you will learn many lessons as you build your business from nothing and dealing with hacking is a key one. Being hacked is almost becoming a way of life like auto theft; there’s a high chance it will happen to you one day. Even Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook found his own account hacked in early December 2011. In June 2011, Citbank found that 200,000 customers had their private details passed to a hacker. Sony was hacked earlier this year as was Google in China; even Gmail isn’t immune.

Entrepreneurship experiences and lessons from across this spectrum will be discussed, debated and shared through multiple panels and sessions including Guru Talks. The Guru Talk is where Gurus from the world of entrepreneurship share their experiences in an informal Q&A session with the audience. The event will be a good one to network with the likes of budding entrepreneurs, seasoned and experienced ones.
TiE Summit 2011, though a little late to the party but will dorn the “Going Green” phrase this year. The organizers promises to use cutting edge web and mobile applications to manage communication, registration, accessing and networking at the conference. I seriously hope they’ll have free and working Wi-Fi this time around.

As enforcement SOPA will require:
The new law would also force US-based search engines to remove the offending websites from search results.
