What is the difference between a virtual attack and one in the street?

The virtual world ¨internet¨ is a reflection of the physical one, and what you do in the virtual one…also is going to have effects in the real world.

There isn’t difference between criminals; their mind work in the same way…the difference is the knowledge and sophistication to attack banks, people, data centers, etc. At the end the results are the same, victims and winners, an unfair balance. Meanwhile the robbers in the street look the best strategy to steal with a silence or violent method…the criminal hackers hide themselves and design the route map to attract a victim. Both like a eagle when is looking the prey.

How can be possible people with a great intellectual knowledge…using it for malicious purposes? If all these people make a team could do big advances in technology for the well being of people and improve qualities of life.

Now the trend is cyber security, how your business can be safe from cyber criminals that take advantage of technology to make money in a dirty way.

But if the resources apply to avoid and do these criminals acts, would be address to good actions…the world could have a better future. I just want to make a reflection; in the world there are beautiful things to live, why are people making damage to other one? even in the virtual or physical dimension? I hope the next generations change completely the trend and we can begin to do it now.

There are companies worried about the security issues and working with others to decrease and eliminate the threat. You can find more information about Data Infosys, and their products Xgen Plus, Spamjadoo and BharatBerry.

Phishing scam: is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Resource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing.

These days I received the following email:

EFTPS ONLINE

This warning make more credible or trustful the email...so take care.

Please be careful and pay attention to details. Here some tips for any person-non technical, easy to follow:

1. First read slowly and dont be scared or act quickly.
2. Call the official number from other source directory and confirm about what you received.

The antiphishing working group recommends reporting phishing scams here:

• Forward the e-mail to reportphishing@antiphishing.com.
• Forward the e-mail to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov.

Blind Carbon Copy - An anti-spam precaution

Usually in your email account, you will find different options to send messages:

To: Principal recipients

Cc: Carbon copy to people can be interested or related with the principal message.

Bcc: Blind carbon copy to send the same message to multiple recipients, hiding their e-mail addresses from each other.

Usually BBC is used in mailing lists, But WHY?

For one side is courtesy, this is a sensible anti-spam precaution because it avoids making a long list of e-mail addresses available to all the recipients. To and CC field allow users to see all recipients address which can be inadequate when you are sending message on behalf of a business or organization, it may be especially important to keep lists of clients, members or associates confidential.

Spammers and email-borne viruses take advantage of people who don’t delete long email lists in the messages. It’s important to remove addresses of previous recipients when you forward an email.

To reduce the risk to be part of a spammer list, encourage people who forward messages to you to use BCC. Besides, you can use a specialized software Spamjadoo www.spamjadoo.com to avoid irrelevant messages and more privacy for you and your business.

Almost all emails servers have BBC option. But If you cannot BBC without write an address in TO, you can write your own address, it will help you to confirm that the message was sent and hide your recipients ID.

Internet is a free and open resource but we also should take some precautions like in the real life.

How to protect your system

1. Keep your web browsers and operating system up to date.
2. Use security software tools as your first line of defense.
3. Use strong passwords or strong authentication technology to help protect your personal information.
4. Do not open e-mail attachments from an unknown, suspicious, or untrustworthy source.
5. Back up your files frequently.
6. Exercise caution when downloading files from the Internet. Make sure that the Web site is legitimate and reputable. Verify that an anti-virus program has checked the files on the download site. If you have any doubts, don't download the file at all. If you download software from the Internet, be especially vigilant of free software, which often carries adware or other potentially unwanted content along with it. Always read the privacy policies and end-user license agreements (EULAs) for software you install, regardless of the source. Be especially wary of screensavers, games, browser add-ons, peer-to-peer (P2P) clients, and any downloads claiming to be “cracked” or free versions of expensive applications, such as Adobe® PhotoShop® or Microsoft® Office. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Source: Macfee
7. Do not open messages or click on links from unknown users in your instant messaging program.
8. Delete chain e-mails and other spam from your inbox.
