US has the military might, but Iran will lean on proxies and militias if they get dragged into conflict

(Worthy News) – The possibility of a military confrontation between the United States and Iran is rising as U.S. officials claim an increased threat risk to troops in Iraq and Syria and shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf.

The Trump administration is citing unsubstantiated intelligence that Iranian-backed Shiite militias might attack U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria.

Iran may not possess the same level of military might that the U.S. has as the world’s leading power, but Tehran can frustrate U.S. power projection in the region.

House passes LGBT Equality Act; conservatives say it ‘undermines women’s equality’

(Worthy News) – The Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives passed the Equality Act Friday afternoon, hotly-debated legislation seeking to codify LGBT non-discrimination protections into federal law.

H.R. 5 passed by a vote of 236-173. The bill would expand the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to also ban discrimination on the basis of “sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition” in housing, public accommodations and hiring.

The bill was first introduced in 2015 but never passed in the Republican-controlled House. However, it is unlikely to be voted on in the Republican-controlled Senate. [ Source: Christian Post (Read More…) ]

What Is Secure Payment Processing

There is no doubt that a major portion of the buying, selling and commercial transactions across the country and also in many countries across the world happens online. While the internet and mobile telephony have been great enablers in bringing the world closer, online financial transactions do come with their own share of risks and problems. The digitalized means of a transaction does offer mischief mongers a real chance in hacking and robbing very sensitive and personal details. The information could pertain to the demographics of the customers, their residential addresses, bank account details, credit card and debit card details and other such financial information. Hence, business houses are working overtime to find out ways and means by which they can secure the information of their customers. Hence they are investing quite a bit of secure payment processing. This is a big subject and it may not be possible to talk about it in full details. However, we are sharing some pertinent and useful information on the subject matter for the benefit of our readers.

 

Securing Website Is Important

 

The first and foremost thing is to ensure that your website is fully secured and there are many ways by which this can be done. The most common way is to put in place the best of SSL protocols. SSL protocol is extremely important because it encrypts information from end to end whether it pertains to yours or your customers’. Hence, the information moves from one end to another in a digital world in a random numeric and alphanumeric format. It would be impossible for hackers and cybercriminals to make much meaning out of the SSI protocol enable information. Yes, they might be able to hack into the site but the information that will be available to them will not make any meaning or will not be of any use to them.

 

Being PCI Compliant

 

Those who are into e-commerce would most certainly have come across PCI compliance. PCI stands for Payment Card Industry and they have put in place some very rigid security standards. These standards lay down some protocols to traders about the way in which payment should be secured in more ways than one. It is again about using data encryption when customers make payments. It does not require the use of actual card data and information that one comes across while it is being processed. Tokenization is also something that is being considered for the future as far as PCI guidelines are concerned.

 

What Is Tokenization

 

Tokenization is perhaps the way forward in the future as far as securing online transactions are concerned. It is an easier and safer way to improve payment security and provide a payment process that comes without any risks and vulnerabilities. It helps the customer to authenticate their transactions during purchase without compromising the security of the transaction in any manner whatsoever.

 

Hence at the end of the day, there is no doubt that securing online transactions is an ever-changing world. While today’s technology and procedures are safe and could avoid fraud to a great extent, things will keep changing taking into account the risk perceptions and the way in which fraudsters try and outsmart these technologies.
