Phnom Penh – Cambodian Prime Minister, Hun Sen’s facebook account was hacked and it was declared as a plot to present him in a negative style in the country. Earlier, Hun Sen thought that it was an intentional attempt by Facebook and he warned to shut down Facebook entirely in Cambodia. However, later it was cleared by Facebook that his account was not suspended but was hacked by hackers in order to prevent his popular posts from reaching the eyes of the people. All his posts were deleted to cause social poison and to decrease his popularity in the country.

“The Facebook company deleted and tried to shut down my account. I, Hun Sen, would like to respond that if you dare shut down my Facebook, I will shut down Facebook in Cambodia.”

Duong Dara manages Hun Sen’s Facebook account and he replied that hackers deleted posts which were popular among citizens and the youth. “The popular posts and activities were deleted. First, they deleted the posts and finally, they wrote the post to cause confusion in society,” he said. Further, he said that hackers tried to hack PM’s account several times in the past but only succeed this time. Also, he said that hackers only managed to become editors of the facebook account for the past five days and earlier there was no editing on his facebook account.

Ministry of interior spokesperson Phat Sophanit said the technical team had been investigating the matter. However, after reading the threatening message on PM’s Fb page regarding shutting down of Facebook in the entire country, people called it a selfish act on part of Hun Sen. Also, FB assembly said that Hun Sen has been using the hacking of his Facebook account as an excuse to shut down Facebook in Cambodia. In today’s time, even a novice execute such an act with using information related to facebook hack at spyadvice.com or any other websites. But clearly, this reflects the loopholes in the cybersecurity of Cambodia and raises many questions about the safety of people’s personal information.

After this entire incident, many political people offered their comments and said that it is not right to shut down Facebook just because PM’s personal account is hacked. While some people said that hacking was politically motivated and its sole intent was to show the PM Hun Sen as a “Selfish” political figure. The attempt was made because Hun Sen is a popular political figure in Cambodia.

From reading the latest news to looking for your next big vacation (or being captivated by social media), the Internet has become a massive landscape of diverse content. With the digital world filled with countless distractions, resisting temptation and being able to focus has become more and more difficult. The development of website and app blockers provides a simple solution to avoid scooting down portal pathways that hinder productivity and, sometimes, lead to negative consequences.

As a worldwide societal phenomenon, the Internet is rapidly evolving, with entire economies and personal relationships relying on the web. A website and app blocker intentionally restricts access to specific internet sites and apps through software programs. Website and app blocker software can be downloaded as add-ons or extensions for browsers, like website blocking on Chrome. Such blocking can include programs that assist in URL-based blocking, Platform-based blocking—specifically when using search engines, and Domain Name Systems blocking, which all make it difficult to access specified domains and websites on the Internet.

Many website and app blockers allow you to enter websites and apps that you want to restrict access to for a certain time period throughout the day or a certain length of time. This can be helpful to those who need to focus on studying but keep falling into temptation’s trap, straying away from what needs to be done to engage in unnecessary Google searches or scrolling through Instagram posts.

However, there are website and app blockers that can permanently restrict access to specified sites and apps. With potentially crucial reasons to restrict access to Internet content, blocking software could improve daily lives. Those struggling with shopping addiction or facing negative consequences at work for an inability to remain focused may find website and app blockers incredibly beneficial.

Website and app blocking isn’t confined to personal, individual use. It has become a rising trend for many governments to utilize this software when blocking illegal content. Yet, the software can also help parents, guardians, and other family and friends block access to harmful content and inappropriate material for children.

By restricting access to certain websites or apps, you allow yourself to build new and more productive habits, or keep yourself and your kids safe. Through establishing “forced focus” times for yourself, concentrating solely on your work or tasks at hand becomes easier. Protectivity has many proven benefits. Committing to what needs to be done can help build your self-worth, creating a feeling of accomplishment that is good for your mood. Even if the things you need to focus on and get done are smaller tasks in nature, accomplishing your daily tasks can help ward off excessive stress and anxiety, as well as depression.

NetNanny, BlockSite, and Surfblocker as some of the most effective website and app blocking software. BlockSite is a blocking software used globally by millions of people, and it provides relief from temptation by temporarily blocking websites and apps, so you can focus, be productive, and build self-control habits.

Whether you are trying to keep yourself in check or your family safe, website and app-blocking software limits screen time while providing customization to users that help tailor usage to individual needs.
