What does JSESSIONID stand for when accessing Comcast/Xfinity emails? I was told that it means that a person who lives in my apartment bldg is hacking my mails. What say you?

Greetings,
I have had a hacker problem for quite a while. I thought I had rid myself of him.  (He is a neighbor in my apt. building).  In any case today while attempting to set up a new e mail addy, my existing addy just 'disappeared' from the comcast site !!  I did not know what to make of it.  I called a friend who is rather tech savvy and understands that I am a bit paranoid after the many many months of serious hacking and the awful history of same that I have experienced. He told me to look at my cookies.  I read the list and when I got to the ones that said "sc0112.wc.mail.com.comcast.net",  with a cookie named "JSESSIONID" that he thought that the hacker might have, at the very least, got into my e mails.  Does anybody have any info on this issue.  Other then hard wiring my iMac to a router via a cable modem are there any other steps that I can take to have as safe of an experience as I can have.
I am most grateful to those of you who take the time to read and respond and I thank you in advance.
Thank you.

JSESSIONID cookies are placed in your browser by websites (in this case, the comcast webserver) that want to keep track of your login session. Webservers that you log in to, such as your comcast email site, will set cookies such as this one so they can remember that you are logged in. This JSESSIONID cookie that you have is harmless, and actually necessary for the proper operation of the comcast email site.
But, if someone else (eg. a hacker) were able to get a copy of your JSESSIONID cookie, they could impersonate you; they don't need to know your username or password if they have a current copy of your session cookie.
It's hard to say what's happening to you, but if you suspect something fishy is going on, I'd start with:
  - Make sure your wireless router is configured to use WPA or WPA2 security. (WEP is not good enough).
  - Change the password on your wireless router! Make it long (12+ chars), with upper and lowercase letters, and numbers, and throw in some other characters like ! # % $, etc
  - Change your comcast password, make it a good one too.
  - You do own the router, right? You are not connecting to a router owned by someone else?
  - When you login to websites, make sure that the login page uses HTTPS. Really, these days, a security-concious website will keep the session over HTTPS at least until the user logs out.

  • What does 'DDIC' stands for??

    Hi,
    When i checked the Technical spec. .I found there showed 'DDIC layout template'.
    What does 'DDIC' stands for??
    Thanks!

    DDIC stands for Data Dictionary
    There exist ONE TO ONE relationship between ddic table and transparent table..
    It means :
    There is a physical table on the database for each transparent table. The names of the physical tables and the logical table definition in the ABAP/4 Dictionary correspond and
    one field in dictionary correspond to one field in physical database.
    When the table is activated, a physical table definition is created in the database for the table definition stored in the ABAP Dictionary. The table definition is translated from the ABAP Dictionary to a definition of the particular database in One to One Relationship..
    Pooled table
    Pooled tables can be used to store control data (e.g. screen sequences, program parameters or temporary data). Several pooled tables can be combined to form a table pool. The table pool corresponds to a physical table on the database in which all the records of the allocated pooled tables are stored.
    Cluster table
    Cluster tables contain continuous text, for example, documentation. Several cluster tables can be combined to form a table cluster. Several logical lines of different tables are combined to form a physical record in this table type. This permits object-by-object storage or object-by-object access. In order to combine tables in clusters, at least parts of the keys must agree. Several cluster tables are stored in one corresponding table on the database.

    TIPS to simplify Excise JV transactions: - (J1IH)
    1. Assigning Excise Invoices to Line Items 
    Use: - When you make an adjustment posting, you follow this procedure if you want to specify the original excise invoice associated with a line item.
    Procedure: -
    1. Select the line item that you want and choose Get excise invoice.
    The system displays a list of all the excise invoices that you have posted from this vendor for this particular material.
    2. Select the excise invoice that you want and click on u201CEnteru201D button.
    The system:
    u2022 Enters the excise invoice document number in the Ref. doc. field (Reference document).
    u2022 Calculates how much of the excise duty from the excise invoice should be apportioned to the line item and enters it in the excise duty fields.
    If you then overwrite these amounts, you should also overwrite the reference document number with an explanatory text, since there is no point in maintaining the link to the reference document anymore.
    For e.g. you have a line item with ten plates of glass that you have broken and are to be scrapped. You have three excise invoices from the same vendor to choose from. You pick one for 20 plates of glass with BED at INR 200. The system automatically apportions INR 100 to the line item that is to be reversed.
    2. Specifying Which CENVAT Accounts to Adjust
    Use: - When you make an adjustment posting, you have to specify which CENVAT accounts are to be adjusted.
    Procedure: -
    1. Choose Determine G/L accounts.
    A dialog box appears that shows how much will be posted to which G/L accounts. The accounts that are displayed depend on the excise group and the CENVAT account that you entered on the selection screen.
    2. Add another account, if you need to, and adjust the other postings so that the credits and debits match.
    3. Enter a business area and cost center, if necessary.
    4. To close the dialog box, click on u201CEnteru201D button.
    3. Displaying CENVAT Account Balances
    To display the balances of your CENVAT accounts, choose Balances.
    The system displays the balances only of the CENVAT accounts that are affected by your G/L postings.
    J1IS - Excise Invoice for Other Movements
    You use this transaction to create Outgoing Excise Invoice for Vendor Return using ref. doc. type "MATD" (Material Doc - 122 Movement Type).
    And Print the same in J1IV
    Excise post & print for others mvmts (J1IV)
    This is used to post the Excise documents of other movements (For e.g. Excise Invoice for Vendor Return) to FI and also used to take printout of the same.
    Here In selection screen, enter Internal Doc of Excise doc and year then click Goto > Releaee to Accounting and also you can print using Goto > Print document.

  • What does ESA stands for ? and where it is use

    Hi,
    What does ESA stands for ? and where it is use ?
    Thanx

    Hi
    ESA is enterprise Service Oriented Architecture.
    This is a new strategic direction in which SAP AG is planning to take all industries to. They have developed SAP Netweaver for this. SAP as such is a great application but JAVA is very user friendly. In past integration of web applications was not so good with SAP.
    With SAP Netweaver ABAP and JAVA gets integrated great and hence we have seamless integration between SAP and webapplicaation. This also helps to give great USER interfae with real time information search on web from SAP.
    e.g. tracking information of sales order, invoice etc from web from SAP.
    If helpful, reward accordingly.

  • What does JDBC stand for?

    I read somewhere that jdbc is a name trademarked by sun and does not stand for java database connectivity. Does it stand for anything else then? Where does the name come from?

    Ssav,
    The term JDBC was coined as an acronym for "Java DataBase Connectivity". So it was actually an acronym. But later, when Sun had to Trademark the technology's name, and reserve the rights to use the name for commercial purposes, they found some obstacles in trademarking an acronym. So they decided that they call the technology as JDBCtm itself and declared JDBCtm as the name of the Technology and not an acronym anymore.
    This restriction prevented unscrupulous elements from using and claiming rights on a landmark technology for their business purposes, (see http://www.sun.com/policies/trademarks ) But as far as we, technology people are concerned, we can still refer it as an acronym.. to understand it.. but sure.. the name JDBCtm isn't an acronym in business or legal sense , but for understanding and study purposes , it still stands in our minds as the acronym for Java DataBase Connectivity.
    see this url..

  • Training and Event Management (PE) - What does PE stand for?

    Hi
    Re: Training and Event Management (PE)
    Can someone tell me what (PE) stands for?
    I have had a look at the documentation on SAP Help but cannot see what this stands for. 
    I want to use this in the naming convention in my role stategy but need to understand what this means.
    Does anyone know?
    Thanks
    Charnaine

    Hmmm... the plot thickens...
    Perhaps if we look into the context where this abbreviation is used, then it would give a hint.
    For example:
    "training evidence in PE" => Personnel Education
    "attendance recorded in PE" => Personnel Events
    "will result in PE" => Personnel Execution
    According to [PE-RPL|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/77/bff8ab4a2911d182b80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm] it is a bit of a mix of the first two.
