After Mid Semester Break

Assalamualaikum,

Selepas cuti pertengahan semester, pensyarah kelas telekomunikasi dan rangkaian telah diganti dengan pensyarah kedua iaitu Dr. Johari. Beliau akan meneruskan sesi pengajaran dan pembelajaran bagi subjek ini. Pada minggu ini, beliau telah mengajar topik baru iaitu Email. Saya telah membuat rumusan bagi topik yang telah diajar :

What is Email ?

• A mail, but is sent electronically across the Internet.

• Quickly delivered in seconds or minutes.

to a local e-mail server.

• Email spam, also known as junk email sending messages to numerous recipients by email.
• The messages may contain disguised links that appear to be for familiar websites but in fact lead to phishing web sites or sites that are hosting malware.
• Spam email may also include malware as scripts or other executable file attachments.
