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.

Tax fraud...How can you recognize a phishing email?

One day you received an "official" email telling you that your tax payment has not been accepted. The accounting is critical and essential, so your business can be a victim of phishing scam.

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
THE ESAIEST WAY TO PAY YOUR FEDREAL TAXES


Since the beginning the orthography shows that it is not a professional and official email...

Your Federal Tax Payment ID: 01037598849 has been not accepted.

Pelase, make sure that all ifnormation you have submitted is crorect and refer to Code R21 to find out the informaiton about copmany payemnt. Pelase cnotact this page if you have any questions:

A Link which you should never make click

and at the end a warning:

You are uisng an Ofifcial United States Government System, which may be used only for authroized purposes. Unauthorized modification of any information stored on this sytsem may result in criminal prosecution....etc.

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.
  3. DONT give sensitive information or data that they should have
  4. DONT make click in any link inside the email.
  5. The virtual world is the same real one, behave in the same way you do daily with unknown or strangers people.
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.
  • Forward the e-mail to the abused e-mail address of the company that is being spoofed (such as spoof@ebay.com). When forwarding spoofed messages, always include the entire original e-mail with its original header information intact.
  • Notify the Internet Fraud Complaint Center of the FBI by filing a complaint on its Web site: www.ifccfbi.gov/.
