The company “gold seller” scam dozens of network operators more than do

May 20th, 2012 No comments

“I now can’t support it, House will be auctioned, and where the parents live or sth” in a normal office building in Pudong, Shanghai, the legal daily reporter Wang Qian bitter about his experience. In July last year, opened an online shop of his company “gold seller” fraud of $ 2.1 million. It is estimated that as he was open to victims of over more than 40 people, lost more than millions of dollars.

“Best seller” is no longer shipping

Beginning in 2009, Wang Qian began opening in Taobao shop. At first, game points sold are sold online by card, prepaid card, and so on.

After the Spring Festival in 2010, a shopkeeper named Zhu Jian QQ to locate Wang Qian. “Because I’m selling Q coins, he said his store’s prices are lower than my current stock prices, so we slowly become familiar with them. ”

Zhu Jian under the policy of low prices to attract, Wang Qian soon. , In addition do Q coins, also play some world of Warcraft game card, mobile, China Unicom and Telecom recharge cards. At the beginning, only ten thousand or twenty thousand volumes at a time. In September 2010, the two signed the first contract.

“When prices relatively high, sell me like $ 50 prepaid card $ 49.28, sold for $ 100 I $ 98.4, but the two have almost every transaction. “Wang Qian said. In October 2010, Zhu Jian Wang Qian found shelter in Suqian, Jiangsu Province, the two sides agreed prices are a little cheaper, and signed a contract.

“I was very careful. “Wang Qian said:” Zhu Jian more home addresses are written in the contract, in his home, I can see his wife and daughter. ”

In fact, because Zhu Jian of Wang Qian more comfortable trading on Taobao is points card gold sellers. And this is not all of you have, there are very few sellers that turnover in a few hundred million or more a year.

Since then, Wang Qian purchase volume increased, his customers slowly accepted in such a way, that first shipped. However, the seeds from this plant. Because a lot of people to buy cheaper goods, are taken to encourage live payments in advance, eventually forming a chain.

“Is the first payment and then shipped all the time, often urged, but in General to cashed commitments. After 2011 Chinese new year is not normal. “Wang Qian recalls. “Zhu Jian asked me on the phone one day: 100 Yuan prepaid card they will be reduced to $ 98.1, but conditions are a must to 2 million, and do not do? Think after repeatedly, I found all his customers, about 1.6 million in the Kitty. ”

But since then, Zhu Jian shipping speed is not growing properly. From the past two days, only two or three times a week, call often, occasionally call for a variety of reasons put. By June, Zhu Jian a week are not shipped. In desperation, Wang Qian can only loan to a customer’s payment.

Complaints shop closed soon after opening

According to another victim Tang Libang memories, in fact, as early as late June on Taobao shop Zhu Jian “activist”, through the company service freeze Zhu Jian want account. “His shop was closed down at least 3 times above, but opened again after two or three days at a time. Taobao activist said, Zhu Jian is big sellers every year turnover several billions, not lying. ”

Wang Qian told the legal daily Reporter: “different from online shopping in General, game point cards are as follows: to Taobao sellers under one plus card key, wholesale sales platform to the professional game card card sellers in selling their platform to buy. Needs a lot of working capital because sellers, buyers to confirm receipt right away. On many platforms would all hang out: must confirm receipt within 10 or 15 minutes, or freeze the account, so even the login is not possible on this platform, plus card is white. And even if 10 or 15 minutes to confirm receipt, will automatically confirm receipt 24 hours. But who knows, you can’t be sold or used goods are all within 10 minutes. This is the Taobao network points card purchased unwritten etiquette of the game. ”

Zhu Jian and Tang Libang from April 2011 for big deals. On June 30, Zhu Jian sent him a last shipment, valued at more than 400,000. Tang Libang and the next day to order the goods of more than 400,000, Zhu Jian during the incident were due to its more than 1.1 million.

Days do not have shipping, Tang Libang hastened to Taobao launched rights after sale customer service. Taobao service just says that it will push seller shipping as soon as possible. Afterwards, Tang Libang knows, Zhu Jian before have a number of complaints, but Taobao customer service no mention.

“I found the problem the first time immediately after to Taobao’s rights, demands a return, arguably made after the activist should immediately freeze the accounts, but Taobao has not been processed. “Tang Libang very angry about this.

Victims accused the company is not responsible management and control

After the event, a lot of people to Hangzhou, Suqian alarm. July 19, 2011 Shukujo Suqian city, Jiangsu Province Public Security Bureau branch in Zhu Jian of fraud investigation, prosecutors ‘ Office of current cases have been transferred, is in the investigation and prosecution stage.

“Following the incident, many people have applied to the company’s rights, but from the beginning of July 2011 to the present, Taobao have not responded, but froze the accounts of Zhu Jian. Displays the status on the Internet has always been a ‘ activist ‘. “Wang Qian said.

Beijing Beijing law firm Shanghai law firm Chen Min told reporters that her message is obtained from the police, Zhu Jian has been doing is a way to buy high sell low, even borrowing into “knows not profitable online stores”. This strange way of doing business, the only explanation is probably Zhu Jian hoped thereby to enhance their sales, building popularity.

Sucheng District people’s Procuratorate investigates the case told a press conference, the case is still in the supplementary investigation phase, specific case should not be made public.

Taobao is the loss to the victims, Wang Qian, believe that Taobao to blame the victims. Reason is the Taobao on many commercial tenants ‘ application does not handle, causing complaints PayPal account within a matter of days after Zhu Jian extracted more than 1.7 million dollars, increased damage to victims. Shukujo Suqian, Jiangsu province public security network security group remote inspection record, July 1, 2011 to Taobao is not based on the application to freeze suspect accounts.

Second Taobao do not make a reasonable review of the obligation. Provisions in accordance with the company released in June 2010, must be filed in order to carry on game point in the network card, Zhu Jian is not in the record list. After the case since Zhu Jian “point card gold seller” title remained unchanged.

Three consumer protection is based on Taobao Mall services agreement, if the buyers by PayPal for post-transaction rights, the right to complain to Taobao, and making payment applications. Taobao has the right to notify PayPal sellers of the company of the Alipay account deduction of the corresponding amount of money paid directly to buyers. But its not.

Analysis of Wang Qian: “today is to a large extent of the consequences resulting from Taobao has no control. “At present, Wang Qian, Tang Libang and others are preparing lawsuits on Taobao.

According to the data provided by Chen min, so far counted more than about the victims of more than 40 people, the amount ranged from $ 600 to $ 2.2 million, a total of more than 10 million Yuan. Describes the victim, certainly far more than the number of actual damage, due to various reasons some people reluctant to mention this.

Journalists call its customer service, be answered is: before the case was not pronounced, the company does not make any statement on the matter.

City trading Web sites into car thieves stolen goods such as new channel

May 20th, 2012 No comments

After the thief to stolen goods, with the development of city Web sites, transfer trucks channel on the Web. However, favorable, there are disadvantages, thieves often clever anti-smart error was found by the victim on the Internet and was eventually brought to justice. When Wang in the dongcheng district court trial, also encountered in their trucks and puzzled by the victim was. One day in December last year, Wang Fu Rhine community explore a way, see a range of gate distance has a newer electric bike, heart health and hard to read.

Trucks is not anti-lose money

At 3 o’clock in the morning the next day, Wang sneaked into the building, the electric bicycle is stolen. King to change money after a stolen car, fair network on the second-hand trading platform, people NET, transfer of published information.

This electric bike after the identification value $ 2,320, but Wang’s list price is $ 2,500, which also causes an electric bike has yet to meet the buyers, but also for the bizarre scene left a foreshadowing of the later. Owner Mr Tung left behind very anxious, but he is not willing to spend a lot of money before and after their increased configuration so one’s car is stolen, while looking at the street, sign fair network site to find.

As the King of a post including photos of models and vehicles for sale, initially determined that Mr Tung is their vehicle, then contact by telephone, also asked a number of details, Mr Tung is prepared to meet with Wang trading. See front, Mr Tung made a report to the police station. Wang was calm when caught, “owner, said the car was his, then the police came. ”

Wang trucks not only failed, but also lose out hundreds of dollars, while stealing his car battery of electric bicycle was Mr Tung at home, Wang bought the battery again, also the new lock. King pleads guilty of a good attitude and eventually East Court to theft, was sentenced to criminal detention for 5 months.

Reset gas stealing fish online selling

The early morning of March 3, zizhu bridge near the Aquarium market, vendors, when you came to their booth, was in front of a stunned. Shop door open not only, but also killed many fish in the fish tank, is more serious, many filled with rare varieties of ornamental fish for fish tanks are empty. Mr Cheung said, a Pearl large fishes the value at around $ 5,000.

The police immediately, police investigations found that the blackened, there are two men an excuse for distribution to market, then moved with the two big suitcases left. According to the marketing staff, because one of them looked familiar and does not stop. Police to monitor Internet traffic in fish Forum and found a real-name registration of the user, sold and lost a similar variety of fish. Police then went to the user in the Changping store, next to the dustbin, with more than more than 10 dead pet fish, consistent with the characteristics of stolen pet fish, two live ornamental fish, confirm is the piece of fish.

Shopkeeper Chen subsequently theft admitted to myself, and some disputes before, and is reset. At present, Chen and another involved in the theft of some have been detained by the police, two people in connection with the theft amount reached $ 700,000.

Reminder

Online transfer couldn’t find source

Reporter in a number of second-hand goods trading site to see, only one hour post 17 transfer of electric bikes, but information from your post, not sure of the source of electric bicycles. Is reminded of the site more buyers do not transfer in advance to prevent being taken in.

Judges said that with the development of the Internet, convenient online shopping, some suspects familiar with the network using the network of stolen goods. Just as smart as victim of Mr Tung, if you lose your transfer may, may wish to look at on the Internet, may be able to catch thieves in person. (Text/Beijing morning post)

44-meter-diameter asteroid February next year near the Earth from 24,000 km

May 19th, 2012 No comments

According to foreign media reports, an asteroid to fly next year from a very close distance sweep the Earth, their distances than even some of the satellite’s orbital altitude was lower. 2012 the DA14 is a near-Earth asteroid, approximately 44 metres in diameter, were found on February 23, 2012 for the first time. According to calculations, it will be held on February 15, 2013 fly sweep the Earth from very close distance, distance is only about 24,000 km. But don’t worry, the asteroid collision will not and the Earth, but this round of security pass and does not represent close to Earth again in the future, we will always have good luck.

Watch out for 2012! Fortunately, this time the asteroid just passing

And if an asteroid crashing into the Earth’s atmosphere and really explosive, powerful enough to destroy a very large metropolitan areas such as the greater London area. Just last month, Spain astronomers using the La·sagela sky survey system first discovered this unexpected guest, this telescope for observation system using automatic control device tracking of asteroids and comets. Astronomers decision at that time on the sky in the Department generally does not appear too asteroid search, the results showed that the asteroid 2012 DA14.

Jihade·delansagen (Gerhard Drolshagen) Dr is one of alerts from ESA space Office (SSA) near-Earth objects observation experts. He said: “this small celestial bodies approximately 50 meters in diameter less, asteroids of this size, if it is in a residential area in the atmosphere over the explosive, destructive power will produce a sizeable. Its explosive power and a maximum equivalent of the bomb. ”

In 1908, a suspected about 40 meters in diameter asteroid tungusic region of Siberia in Russia over the explosions in the atmosphere, intense shock wave destroyed almost all trees within a radius of 2000 km. Delansagen said: “this area causes and the greater London area is, and that the asteroid is slightly larger. “According to calculations, the asteroid is expected to arrive around February 15 next year from the location of the nearest to the Earth.

Delansagen said: “next year will be good time for binoculars observing it, but there is nothing to worry about. Asteroids and Earth collision course in the future the possibility cannot be completely ruled out, although the possibility is very small, but not to zero. ”

Scientists estimate there are about 500,000 in total more than 30 meters in diameter near the small celestial bodies, they will run at close to or through periodic orbit in Earth orbit. Dateliefu·kesiqieni (Detlef Koschny) PhD also from SSA, he said: “we are working on an automated optical telescope system, it will be able to find these small objects, like the discovery of the asteroid. Our goal is to at least 3 weeks before the close to Earth to be found and locked it. ”

Coming: asteroid 2012 DA14 running cycle of about 366 days, it is expected to arrive on February 15 next year location closest to the Earth, when its orbital altitude, even lower than some satellites.

Hackers claimed on March 31 to the global Internet to a standstill

May 19th, 2012 No comments

Thanked paralysed playing single post
News source: information communication network
Famous hacker organization anonymous who (Anonymous) recently external claimed, will Yu on March 31 attack 13 a DNS root server, has reached let global Internet paralysis of purpose, the attack as its launched of “Operation Global Blackout” action of part, is to protest “SOPA (United States network anti-piracy Bill under) and to those whose personal interests may and reset world Yu hunger in of Wall Street bankers and capital home were”.

SOPA/PIPA Bill hopes to further strengthen protection of intellectual property, and when content is copyright party found to infringe copyright, can require that Web sites (including search engines, advertising platforms, payment platform) block all content, and can even require access to the Internet service provider (ISP) to stop providing services to your Web site, followed by judicial proceedings. And it provides no “anti-piracy measures taken in advance”, which is self-censorship in advance, you cannot escape.

Also, the Bill of purposes also will has global of effect, playing a example, Warner Brothers film company found has in Italy a website Shang has Dark Knight under of seed download, they on can requirements Google quickly in its search engine in the moved except this website of all content, PayPal also will immediately stop accept on the website of all paid behavior, also on means with this website away from closed station does not far has.

Anonymous has the 13 DNS root server’s IP address is listed, and that by cutting off the Internet, cannot be a domain name query, which makes HTTP Internet services to a standstill, because “after all, HTTP is the most widely used forms of entire network functions”, as a result, anyone entering “http://www.Google.com” or any other URL, will get an error page. Anonymous said they don’t really want to cut off the Internet, are temporarily using one of the most extreme ways to express their protest.

Although a lot of people said they did not believe that Anonymous can be the root server down, pointing out that they do not know DNS root server works, but the Organization says it has developed a powerful DDoS attack tool, let people know that the Internet can’t be easily compromised, but they have the confidence to destroy certain sites to attract enough attention to Internet security.

It is reported that “Anonymous” is a loosely organized hacker organizations in the world, the Organization was originally concern because of the attacks on science education website. Wikileaks leaks in the event, due to the support of the Organization Wikileaks, attacking Wikileaks “enemy” comes into focus. On February 1, 2012, the EU supports the anti-counterfeiting trade agreement (ACTA), international hackers Anonymous begun invasion many websites of the European Union, including the European Parliament (European Parliament) website. Following the FBI had mocked these days (the United States Federal Bureau of investigation), the Organization has already compromised CIA (United States Central Intelligence Agency) website, Anonymous information, steal the Alabama police and Administration Server data, attacked Mexico Senate and Department of the Interior website, and have exposed Mexico Mining Association’s mailing address, purpose is to protest against the Alabama immigration laws enacted House Bill 56 last year.

To small objects hit the earth near you?

May 19th, 2012 No comments

A diameter of about 140 metres, codenamed “2011AG5″ near small objects (NEO) February 2040 may be passing near the Earth, its chances of collision with the Earth is approximately one-six hundred and twenty fifth. In early February of this year in Austria Vienna, the United Nations Committee on the peaceful uses of outer space (COPUOS) group meeting of science and technology, how to take effective measures to prevent the near small objects hit the Earth as scientists hot on the topic.

United States the Discover magazine once voted “threats to human survival in 21st century 20 great danger”, where small objects hit the Earth in the first place.

United States foreign policy magazine has listed “five kinds of situations which may lead to the end of the world”, near to small objects hit the Earth in the first place.

Shi in the determination of the United Nations “world’s four emergency disaster”, near to small objects hit the Earth was ranked first.

Visible near small objects of potential threats to Earth.

Famous scholar Professor Zhou Haizhong has repeatedly been invited to participate in the International Symposium on the collision of celestial bodies. A few days ago, China invited invite professors to do a interview in popular science on small celestial bodies threatens the Earth. According to Dr Yang Jianhua interview recording and arrangement are as follows:

China: what is near to small objects? It is said that they had collided with the Earth, and cause trauma to the Earth. Some of you talk about this situation.

Zhou Haizhong: small objects are those at or near the Earth’s orbit and the Earth’s orbit intersects the small objects, such as near-Earth asteroids, near-Earth comets (commonly known as the comets).

According to expert estimates, about 2000 of the solar system near small objects larger than 1 km in diameter and the nearly 100,000 greater than 100 meters in diameter and small objects. Near-Earth objects like that whether it hit land, was also hit the ocean, is going to be a global catastrophe of mankind cannot afford to ignore the risks of. Not long ago, the United Kingdom famous theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking in a media interview that: because of the threat of small celestial bodies, to suitable for survival of mankind must immigrate to other planets to get rid of the demise of fate.

So far from the formation of the Earth is 4.6 billion years. In the long months and years, there have been countless small objects hit the Earth. According to expert estimates, nearly 100 million years, the Earth was to small objects near the impact crater larger than 1 km in diameter, there are more than 10,000. Due to the protection of the Earth’s atmosphere, near the volume and quality of small objects tends to burn out even before the ground in the fall, or a small meteorite, meteor showers, and so on, but will cause ruin to the Earth.

Mainstream scientists believe about the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago, about 10 km in diameter, the quality to 10 billion tons on the surface of the asteroid hit the Earth, which is now Mexico Northeast Yucatan coast. According to expert estimates, the impact released energy equivalent to 100 trillion tons of high explosive (TNT) exploded 5 billion times times the Hiroshima atomic bomb explosion, caused when the global climate, environment, and ecology of disaster, have been dominating the world of dinosaurs and many other species extinct.

On June 30, 1908 at 7 o’clock in the morning, a star diameter about 50 m of Comet in Russia Siberia pass ancient Republika card area over 5 km Department explosion, its destructive equivalent to 500 star Hiroshima atomic bomb, by produced of high temperature, and high pressure, and shock wave razed has square more than 2000 more square kilometers range within of about 60 million tree trees; this star Comet destroyed of is a no area, no caused more serious of social damage, this can said is lesser evil. 4 hours if it falls, St Petersburg will hit.

On April 22, 1989, a diameter of about 10 km of the “siweifute-Tuttle” comets sweep, and missed the time difference with the Earth for 10 days only because of its big, surprised many astronomers at that time out of the sweat. The periodic comets and walked past the Earth every 76 years, is a very dangerous “man”.

On November 8, 2009, a star diameter about 10 m, and run speed for each seconds 20 km of asteroid in Indonesia Su Laxi Island southern over of atmosphere in the explosion, issued detonation days loud, a section huge bent shaped dust cross had sky, caused large residents panic; this a explosion release out of energy has 3 star Hiroshima atomic bomb explosion of power; by fortunately of is, due to explosion of height in ground above 20 km around, so no caused any damage.

On November 9, a diameter of about 400 metres, codenamed “2005YU55″ asteroid with over 48,000 km per hour speed from the middle of the Earth and the Moon, with the closest for the 322,000 km of Earth; in the scale of the universe, which is very dangerous “close”. “Slip away” makes astronomers nervous throughout the world. “2005YU55″ is the first time in the last 35 years have similar sized asteroids so close to the Earth, the last time was in 1976, but astronomers do not know at the time that the fly sweep events until later notice. This cycle an asteroid within the next 100 years there will be several opportunities for closer contact with the Earth, 2,075 and approximately 240,000 km to nearest to the Earth.

Passing a to: near to small objects and Earth Zhijian distance has “cordon”, is 0.05 days text units, is 7.5 million km; Dang near to small objects crossed “cordon”, it on has may hit to Earth; if hit to Earth, it first to through near to space a is called “gravity keyhole” of regional, and is may in Earth gravity role Xia impact Earth; impact release of energy size depends on it of volume, and quality, and density, and structure features, and movement features, and flight speed, and impact angle, factors. Due to the effect of other celestial bodies, and the passage of time, close to small objects hit the Earth likely will change.

China: will not occur in the future, small body collided with the Earth?

Zhou Haizhong: according to historical records and scientific predictions, nearly collided with the Earth is the likelihood and severity of small celestial bodies; collision is just a matter of time, and will not issue. Unless human capacity in the future, there is a way to avoid “world collision” occurred, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable.

According to expert estimates, 10 kilometers in diameter near the size of small objects around 100 million will collide with the Earth on average; approximately 1 km in diameter near the small celestial bodies is likely to hit the Earth every 100,000 years; approximately 100 meters in diameter near the small celestial bodies is likely to hit the Earth once every 10,000 years. Such impact will be to Earth with devastating effect. Even a small celestial body has not hit the earth near enough, just from us near the crossing, it would change the Earth’s orbit, so that humans suffer.

In June 2004, found that “abofeisi” asteroids are known to the greatest threat to small objects near the Earth, its diameter is about 400 metres; as soon as it hits the Earth, will release 100,000 times higher than Hiroshima atomic bomb of energy. According to expert estimates, it will be August 2029 walked past the Earth due to their orbits by the Earth’s gravity to change, it will restart in August 2036 “to” Earth, and Earth collision probability is 1/, in astronomy, which already belongs to the “very high probability”.

“Abofeisi” has been ranked the “Torre North grade” 4th grade, 10 means an inevitable collision of global destruction; it’s near small objects found on the danger of the highest level. If it crashed into a densely populated place, would have caused a major disaster to mankind; even if you hit the sparsely populated places, with serious damage to the local ecological. “Abofeisi” is the key monitoring object in the field of astronomy, at present there are more than 100 research working group is currently engaged in the study of dangerous asteroids, when you want it close to earth can reduce or exclude the possibility of a collision. In addition, the United States Space Agency, the European Space Agency and a number of related have jointly set up a 50,000-dollar bonus, collection tracking in the world “abofeisi” as well as the exact best way to detect its trajectory.

Scientists recently using software lists a copies in Earth suffered near to small objects impact of situation Xia loss most heavy of national of list, which part national will faced serious of personnel casualties, and also some national of Foundation facilities is will damage serious that cannot recovery power; listed of national including United States, and United Kingdom, and Sweden, and Japan, and India, and Brazil, and Philippines, and Canada, and Italy, and Nigeria and Indonesia, and China also is included which. In case of collision, the consequences for ranking countries, will be very intense. The main purpose of this list is to remind these countries prepare for disaster.

Fortunately is yet found on Earth in the near future pose a real threat to small objects, so people don’t have to be too concerned. In passing that “the 2012 ‘ effort than asteroids ‘ hit the Earth and destroy humanity” has no scientific basis, is purely rumor.

China: how to do a good job to prevent small objects hit the earth near? If found “killer” small objects, scientific organization which should be reported to the relevant situation?

Zhou Haizhong: first, should established a global of information, and analysis and warning system (only observation network is enough of), control world around of ground and space telescope to observation and track those may will to Earth brings disaster of near to small objects, this is prevent disaster occurs of Foundation; second, should developed a disaster risk of emergency plans, to do rainy day, before they happen; again, should equipped with more advanced of observation device, training more of senior specifically talent, while increased science publicity efforts. Finally, disaster preparation, disaster threat reduction.

Any organizations or individuals if “killer” small objects should be taken to the International Astronomical Union (IAU) report confirmation is verified, reported to the relevant departments of the United Nations by the International Astronomical Union; and to inform Member States of the United Nations, and global science and technology forces to take defensive measures.

China: the international community’s reaction to small objects near the threat? What is the action of the scientific community?

Zhou Haizhong: starting from the 90 ‘s of the last century, the international community, in particular the scientific community is very concerned about the possibility of small objects hit the Earth and risk issues. United States Science magazine has called on political leaders to give attention to this issue. Scientists are held almost every relevant international academic seminar to discuss measures for the resolution of the threat to small objects near Earth.

In April 1993, international scientists in Italy Miranda eeles convening a special international conference to discuss issues that may impact small objects, and issued a declaration of the Miranda eeles, trying to raise awareness on the issue of high priority. In July the same year, I was invited to participate in the Korea Seoul’s “mutant theory collided with the celestial bodies” international seminar, participants on the danger level near running mathematical model of small objects, the resulting energy, how to use equations to describe the collapse process of Exchange and discussion on issues such as.

Small near-Earth objects on the Earth’s threats have caused many countries attach great importance to. Current United States Space Agency, the European Space Agency, Russia space agency, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency in strengthening that may endanger the planet near to closely monitor and track small objects, while seeking to avoid their impact solutions. In space, the Hubble telescope, wide-angle infrared measurement probes are continuously monitoring their activities. Located in United States, Hawaii island of Maori PS1 telescope (has the world’s largest digital camera, you can get a picture every 30 seconds) have also started the clock to search for traces of them; in Chile sailuopaken of LSST telescope will be put into use in 2014, at which time its search capability is PS1 telescope 24 times.

According to media reports, funded by the European Union, and Germany aerospace Project Center is mainly responsible for the defense of small celestial bodies “near-Earth orbit protection shield” is expected in the next 3-year assessment test, if funds are available, before 2020, will be formally implemented. Russia Planetary Protection Center that, if funding is essential to protect, Russia current technology all can be completed in 5 years small planetary protection system to protect the Earth from near-Earth objects of attack. United States is external space research most attention of national, for near to small objects will to Earth brings hurt of trends more is especially sensitive; under United States Congress 1998 of a items resolution, United States NASA started has name for “space guardian” of project, seeks to positioning earth around 90% above diameter does not is less than 1 km near to small objects of run track, and confirmed which near to small objects may will on earth caused threat. Chinese Academy of science in action, Purple Mountain Observatory, telescope time searching for and monitoring of the Beijing Astronomical Observatory and other units could break into the Earth’s “uninvited guests”, additional defense to small objects hit the earth near method of conceptual studies are also underway.

Although near to small objects hit the Earth is currently a small probability events, but to those at risk and destruction of the “invaders” is the need for a high degree of vigilance.

China: If you find that there is a potential threat to small objects near the Earth, what defence programme of the scientific community? Feasibility and reliability of the programme?

Zhou Haizhong: at present, the scientific community has a variety of defensive schemes, and some are ready to be put into action. “Theoretical feasibility” programme are:

Is using nuclear weapons to blow it, but the trouble is the explosion is likely to turn it into a number of small “killers”, unpredictable with a radioactive object into orbit, and some small loose structure of near-Earth objects, the role played by the explosion is very limited. This approach has been mixed.

Was the second spacecraft impacting it, change its orbit or breaking it. This comparison is valid, but as with nuclear weapons, it could expanded the disaster several times.

Three aircraft is to put pressure on it (that is, using mechanical force), speeding up or slowing down, thus changing the direction of its flight. This approach is ideal, but it is not easy to implement, and there is a certain amount of risk.

Four are surface using a laser material emanates, resulting in reverse acceleration to make it change the flight direction; or ultra intense laser to destroy it into small fragments of Earth-friendly. This method is also ideal, but have to have super high power laser systems.

Five are made of paints to change its color, effect it absorbs sunlight and heat, by changes in thermal energy to change its orbit. This method worked more slowly, also required a lot of paint delivered to is also a problem.

Six is a rocket sent to a giant kite-shaped solar sail above it, and opening rebound solar sail uses solar photon pressure gradually pushed it off the track. This method of high technical requirements, is quite difficult.

Seven is the insertion of a rocket-like device on the surface of it, let the device constantly emit substances, like jet planes, by reaction to change its direction of flight. This method seems a bit romantic.

Of course, there are other defensive scheme. However, all stage programmes now remain in the theory of ideas; whether they are practical and reliable, also depends on the future practice of testing.

High-frequency trading phantom: BATS ‘ Flash crash ‘

In May 2010, the one made investors shudder at the stocks after the 1000-point plunge on Friday United States third largest stock exchange operator BATS Global Markets Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “BATS”) exception due to computer system errors lead to stock transactions, forcing the Apple stock price trigger “circuit breakers”, and canceled its own IPO the occurrence of extreme events, surprise Wall Street again. Time, on United States equities trading system is unreliable, program trading as the initiator and other arguments make a great noise again.

BATS wealth

On Friday, is the BATS day of the company’s stock listed on the first day. In the United States Eastern time 11:14 A.M., the company’s price to $ 16 after the IPO, stock prices fell sharply, just 900 microseconds (1 microsecond =1/1000000 seconds), shares fell 4 cents all the way.

Just before this happened a few minutes through the BATS trade Apple stock transaction changes occurs. On 10:57 A.M., a sum by BATS only pay 100 shares for Apple first appears as a price of $ 551.66 per share, the number of microseconds per cent to $ 542.8. Zhihou, because the stock price declines of up to 9.4%, triggering what is known as “circuit breakers”, its stock trading was temporarily halted in between to 10:57.

After the incident, BATS to update its Web site, said the trade issue has been resolved, and unequivocally stated that the cause of this incident occurred due to software errors, and errors of Apple stock trading was cancelled, but serious results have been unable to avoid this error.

That afternoon, BATS CEO Qiao·lateman (Joe Ratterman) said in a statement: “after the technical problems today, we believe that cancels IPO is appropriate behavior for companies and shareholders. “BATS, spokesman also said via email, the company will no longer be seeking a listing. BATS Delist.

Analysts said the canceled IPO plans in the current market it is rare, but the company is also an Exchange.

Who oversees $ 5 billion, Bloomberg News mining Fund Manager in New York, he said: “when an Exchange claims to be very active and competitive in comparison with other global exchanges, but was unable to maintain normal daily operations, this is really embarrassing things. “Some people also question if the problem appear listed on the exchanges themselves, and how to trade stocks?

As Georgetown College (Georgetown University), Professor of finance at zhanmusi·angeer (James Angel) pointed out: “it’s like when the plane took off in the crash, and occurs on its maiden voyage. Can you imagine other people to take the interest in flight. ”

  High-frequency trading a sin

This incident occurred questioned the reliability of the market participants to Exchange and begun to re-examine United States securities market structure issues.

Most people know the United States there are two major stock exchanges NYSE and NASDAQ. Indeed, only two exchanges throughout the United States provide “listed” stock trading, but as early as 1990, United States Government legislation to break the most dominant control over the Exchange, allows other exchanges exist and compete with the above two exchanges. Today, the stock exchange has expanded to more than 50 companies across the United States. These exchanges to communicate information to each other at any point on any stock to find the national best bid and offer. BATS are present in addition to the two most authoritative outside the Exchange, one of the most powerful trading platform.

BATS was established in August 2005 of Kansas City in Kansas, the name comes from a better diversification of trading systems (Better Alternative Trading System) initials, was initially just a secondary cash equities trading center.

After six years of development, depending on technology developments, it already has United States cent of stock shares and 10.8% stock options trading shares, in the United States the share market after the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ exchanges.

Why BATS and the two exchanges compete? As the company to the United States in a paper provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission said: “we are different from traditional exchanges, we essentially is a technology company. “The United States electronic network system (Electronic Communication Network, hereinafter referred to as” ECN “) appears as the BATS ushered in the development of the spring.

ECN is under a certain price can be automatic for sale pair of electronic trading systems, institutional investors, market maker, ECN users after you register, you can trade directly in the system. In the United States by ECN trading, can reduce transaction costs for investors or investors quicker access to securities and exchange of price information.

In the course of trade, latency is measured one important indicator of competitiveness of exchanges, and great advantage of BATS ECN trading system is a set of independent intellectual property rights of ownership, ENC trading platform for its research and development offers latency per cent in 2007 from Ms was reduced to the current 0.13 milliseconds, this quotation response time of approaching the speed of light has a great appeal to investors.

In addition, BATS also maintains a very good liquidity. According to the BATS with an average 22,000 orders processed per second.

Meanwhile, the rise of high-frequency trading in Wall Street also promoted the development of BATS. With the development of the ECN trading became more and more rapid, more and more investors trading in high-frequency changes.

Data show that high-frequency trading in the United States has accounted for between 50%. Incomplete statistics, in the United States in the hedge fund, will have assets of approximately 10% is used for program trading. For investors, reaction time 0.01 seconds faster than the others, maybe you meant you earned $ 100 million more than others.

It is based on investor demand, BATS to be dared and authoritative exchange of rival trading operator. Unfortunately is, BATS appeared to be lifting on Friday.

Analysts believe that the current rapid decline caused by the program exchange market and rapidly rising to unimaginable levels. The electronic trading platform when problems arise, horrible things will happen, as investors in the Flash crash of May 2010 has seen the event.

In recent days, according to the Wall Street Journal reported that the United States Securities and Futures Commission has embarked on a number of high-frequency trading firms use of electronic exchanges, including BATS close investigation of gaining an unfair advantage.

Regulators believe that high-frequency trading company with powerful computer systems for fast transactions, holding time to less than a second. And technically backward compared to the investor, such companies rely on time advantage of technical advantages for advance orders. Survey showed that, for lack of transparency in the area of securities market such as high frequency trading, United States regulators being tougher.

  Stock markets have confusion?

After the incident, the New York Times also published a critical article. According to article, similar to the phenomenon of chaos in the stock market on Friday appear higher frequency than investors can imagine.

NASDAQ data show that over the past year, 13 stock exchange in the United States, similar to BATS exchange trading activity was forced to suspend communication failure had occurred at least 110 cases. And since 2007, that number will grow every year. In January of this year, BATS his nearly 30 minutes of time, cannot communicate with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) trading.

At the same time, according to the analysis of market research firm Tabb Group, over the past years, in Exchange, companies like Apple stock trading on Friday as share prices rise or fall, and then all of a sudden has examples of transactions were halted for the time being at least 265 times.

Data above illustrate a problem: large and small market disruptions occur almost daily. But some market participants noted that these issues weaken the stock market on many levels, some investors and financing through e-marketing company confidence in frustration.

Some industry experts say that now stock-trading unit of time is measured in milliseconds, is why fast transaction speed, reliability of infrastructure has become a victim.

Netizen funds stolen PayPal says no responsibility lawyers say the prosecution claims

May 19th, 2012 No comments

Recently, Guangzhou Hao was very angry, he pays the valuable account of stolen almost $ 430, but after negotiations with the PayPal was told that PayPal does not assume liability. Press enquiries also found that when applying for a PayPal account, PayPal has stated that for theft losses as a result of the user’s password, and does not bear any responsibility. However, the lawyers said, such a disclaimer is invalid, belonging to “provisions of the King”, Hao can claim for judicial proceedings.

Capital is 4 times the victim transfer

On February 19 this year at about 8 o’clock in the evening, Hao received two strange message, told him that he pays the valuable account of two transactions did not succeed. But Hao does not use PayPal during this period, he immediately search the Internet, this time only to find, in their account balances of more than 3,000 yuan had stolen almost $ 430.

Hackers is 4 times the money transfer, each time the amounts are not large, $ 42.89, respectively, and $ 171.89 to $ 43 and $, the total is $ 429.67. But Hao found, at noon the same day, an attempt to go from your Alipay account transfer $ 11,212, but due to the lack of balance are not successful.

After finding the account stolen, Hao immediately to the PayPal service line, because the amount is being transferred to another PayPal account, Hao hopes by PayPal can freeze funds, have their own more than 400 Yuan, but got a reply is: PayPal account in real time and cannot be frozen.

Hao told a press conference: “customer service told me at that time, may be the password was hacked by hackers, may I use IPAD login PayPal-related. Because the login PayPal to download a certificate on your computer, you want to enter a verification code to use, and verification code is sent to the binding on the phone; however, if you use PayPal Mobile terminals such as, the others to crack your password, if the mobile phone or similar terminal login PayPal, you do not need to enter a verification code. ”

Hao said: “at PayPal for my loss can do, does not assume any responsibility, police told me, if not to prosecute them. “Subsequently, Hao to Tianhe district Longkou East station alert, also called 12,315 complaints, but police told him that amount is too small, not survey; 12,315 has just said, will reflect to PayPal.

Register Alipay hint

Meanwhile, the reporter’s personal account registered in PayPal, also found that, apart from to fill in the phone number and code, you want to click on a “agree to the following agreement and submit” option, and in the text box in a narrow, is a PayPal service agreement. Reporters carefully study found that the agreement up to more than 11,000 characters, in the account under the security provisions, indicated in bold: “If you find other fraudulent use or theft of your account and password without authorization or any other situations, shall immediately notify us in an effective way, requires the company to suspend service. At the same time, you understand the company took action on your request needs a reasonable period before that, the company has implemented Directive and (or) as a result of the loss does not bear any responsibility for you. “Hao admits that:” at the time of application for account, does not see the agreement. ”

Lawyers claim exemption clause is not valid

So when consumers apply for account signed an agreement with this disclaimer, does that mean will not be able to keep track of Alipay responsibility? In this regard, special counsel of the Consumer Council in Guangdong Province Zhu Yongping said: “such a disclaimer is ineffective, consumers can take advantage of the legal means. “Zhu Yongping explained that according to the provisions of contract law, for personal injuries and damage to property cannot escape,” for example, a factory signed a labor agreement with you, giving you any personal injury that occurs in the factory is not responsible, even though you signed the agreement, but it is also invalid. Property damage, too, although this service agreement signed by the consumer at the time of registration, but PayPal also cannot escape. This standard contract terms, that is, we usually speak of the provisions of the King, is currently the business sector strike. ”

Zhu Yongping, viewing from this event, it is clear who is to blame, who is at fault. Even by hackers, the PayPal Security, there is no fault? Consumers can sue, “Alipay to proof, prove that he is not at fault. Course to come to more than 400 Yuan PayPal a little gain. ”

In this regard, Hao also questioned: hacker 7 operations, Alipay has only two text messages informing him, and was not successful transaction, and successful trading 4 do not have SMS notifications. Hao said: “the deal would send text messages at a time in the past. “In addition, Hao said:” more than 400 worth of money is to another PayPal account, first time I have had complained to PayPal, why can’t they take some actions? “(Source: Guangzhou daily)/reporter Juan Du
