Spam is the term used for unsolicited messages sent via electronic communications technologies such as E-mail, SMS, MMS or Instant Messaging (IM). Typically, messages delivered via spam to mobile devices include: Unsolicited commercial messages advertising goods or services for sale. SMS and MMS messages that are intended to trick ...
Some service providers also offer a mechanism through which you can report the receipt of spam messages, for instance by forwarding the messages to a special address (e-mail address, phone number etc) provided by your service provider. By reporting spam messages you help the operator to identify premium rate services that are tricking customers into calling them. Where local regulations permit, appropriate corrective action may then be taken against the senders.
SMS and MMS messages that are intended to trick the recipient into placing a call to a premium rate telephone service. Typically, such messages will inform the customer that they have won a prize and will provide a premium rate number that the customer must call for further details.
If you receive an E-mail, SMS, MMS or Instant message on your device stating that you have won a prize you should ask yourself if you can remember entering the competition in question before making a call to any phone number provided in the message. Be particularly suspicious if the phone number provided for you to call in the message is an international number or a premium rate number.
When receiving messages on your mobile device, take the same precautions that you would take when receiving E-mail messages on a PC. Whilst most ‘phishing’ today uses E-mail messaging, there have been some incidents that use other messaging formats.
The answer should be "Unmanaged Switch" because the switch allows each port connecting to it to have it own network in opposed to a "HUB", which does not. Say for instance you have 5 machines using 100-mbps of bandwidth. With the switch, each machine would connect individually to the 100-mbps network unlike a hub where the 5 machines would connect and have to share the 100-mbps bandwidth. When switches became more affordable, they became the "go-to" option over hubs.
the reason the Answer is Unmanged switch is cause a switch can sort of translate network packets to devices reducing traffic but a hub is just an in-and-out device which could cause traffic in a cooperation
This is wrong...the answer is HUB a switch (weather Managed or Unmanaged) will not broadcast to every port. even an unmanaged switch will use a Mac address table to send packets. a HUB on the other hand will send to all available ports.
