Latest Case in Phishing

What is Latest in Phishing

Dear Readers,

After long interval I am again going to tell you a new threat of phishing. Earlier I already discussed you about different phishing attacks in the phishing topic and there you learnt that they send you mail for updating your bank account, they send you offer for being their bank employee for collecting their money, they send you offer letter by claiming your details including your family members name, they tell you about your email id has got lottery of huge amount but later on you have to get your custom clearance by paying a certain amount and finally you get nothing and you lose your money, they tell you that a trust has nominated you for paying a certain amount and finally you get the same result like the last example and all these are phishing mails, which causes you a huge monetary loss.

Now I will tell you what the latest threat is. You have got an email from your bank security mail id that someone may have compromised your bank account and we found a suspicious net transaction of RS. 10000 from your bank and we stopped the transaction for suspicion but if you think that it is a right transaction then allow it or stop it by accessing your account on the following link. And if you click on it you will find a cloned webpage of your bank and then you will access it by putting your user id or password and first time they may tell you that your user id or password may not be correct and that’s why they are not opening but put the same user id and password second time that will open and ask you for allow or stop and then they will tell you thanks your suspicious transaction has been stopped as you desired. Now you think that you have got the relief.

But what already happened here, they got your user name & password and they asked you for logging in 2nd time for confirming your user name and password and have already started to operate your account and finally after 24 hours they have transferred your bank amount to their person and if you don’t realize it within 24 hours your amount will be withdrawn by fictitious bank account holders, who opened the accounts by providing fake names and addresses, from ATM counters. This is the actual fact in reality.

Thanking You

2009-09-15T12:15:00.000-07:00

What are the signs of Identity theft?

Dear Friends,

You have learnt so far that what is Identity theft and how your identity is theft by criminals and we requested to see two films namely “The Net” and “The Net 2” for knowing the original incident in the world as well as cyber world and now we are going to tell you the signs of Identity theft i.e.:- how your will start suspect that your identity might have been theft. So let give a look on the following points:-

• Accounts you didn't open and debts on your accounts that you can't explain.
• Fraudulent or inaccurate information on your credit reports, including accounts and personal information, like your Social Security number, address, name or initials, and employers.
• Failing to receive bills or other mail. Follow up with creditors if your bills don't arrive on time. A missing bill could mean an identity thief has taken over your account and changed your billing address to cover his tracks.
• Receiving credit cards that you didn't apply for.
• Being denied credit or being offered less favorable credit terms, like a high interest rate, for no apparent reason.
• Getting calls or letters from debt collectors or businesses about merchandise or services you didn't buy.

What is Identity Theft

What is Identity Theft?

Hallo Friends,

Sorry for being absent from you for a long period. We had already discussed most of the cyber crimes which occurs in cyber world to our personal life and as our motive is to make aware the netizens about the danger of cyber world and how to remain safe from them without knowing any good computer knowledge and just from applying the common sense so we will now bring before you another dangerous cyber crime which may make your life hell even you are not aware of anything about the complaint against you. Yes friend it is Identity theft.

So let us discuss you what does it mean? Suppose your name is Bill Clinton and you have your credit card, social security number, separate bank account, office identity card and so many things which will speak for your identity and someone has stolen all the data of your personal information and reaching all those places before you and taking all the advantages which you should get or doing crime in your name and in this situation cops has reached in your house for arresting you. What will you feel now? We think it will not be a good experience for you and your family. So we can tell that when someone steals someone’s identity that is called identity or ID theft. Let discuss in the voice of cyber world.

Identity theft is a phrase that is used to describe any kind of fraud that results in the loss of personal data, such as passwords, user names, banking information, social security numbers or credit card numbers.

There are two main types of identity theft – account takeover and true name theft. Account takeover identity theft refers to the type of situation where an imposter uses the stolen personal information to gain access to the person’s existing accounts. Often the identity thief will use the stolen identity to acquire even more credit products by changing your address so that you never see the credit card bills that the thief runs up.

True name identity theft means that the thief uses personal information to open new accounts. The thief might open a new credit card account, establish cellular phone service, or open a new checking account in order to obtain blank checks. The Internet has made it easier for an identity thief to use the information they've stolen because transactions can be made without any real verification of someone’s identity.

I would request you to see two great Hollywood movies over this for your better understanding. They are “The Net” and “The Net 2”.

What is Infectious Website

2009-09-02T09:43:00.000-07:00

What is Infectious Website

Dear Friends,

We have already discussed many topics in our blog and now we are going to tell you about infectious website. We think now you are thinking that is it possible? Website and that is infectious, its cant be possible. But my dear friends it’s possible. Now definitely a question has come to your mind that so what is infectious website.

A infectious website is that website which contains virus or harmful materials for your computer and when you run that website your computer will face problem and if you have strong antivirus or use good browser like Mozilla or IE or Google Chrome they will alert you that you are going to visit an infectious website which can cause problem to your computer. Now if you don’t visit its ok but if you continue there is every possibility of installing virus or Trojan in your computer even your antivirus can’t stop it to install it. So we think you have understood how danger it is. But there are also some websites for which browser will not alert you about its infectiousness but they are infectious. Now you should realize which is dangerous and which is not though it is infectious. The infection report which shows the containing about virus, Trojan and worm and other vulnerable software are dangerous but the others are not so vulnerable.

How the websites get infectious?

When a website is taken control by outsider and installs some hidden vulnerable software or Trojan in its content, it gets infectious or when the web administrator installs it with its content for attacking the target machine which visits its site and this happens in case when you visit some porn site or hackers own site and in this cases your browser even cant alert you about its vulnerability.
Even our experience says that one well known Management and Engineering College’s website is also vulnerable and if you visit you will be attacked by Trojan and virus and those will be installed automatically.

Now see the scan report of that website and we are not telling the name of that College.

Diagnostic page for thatverycollege.org

What is the current listing status for thatverycollege.org?

Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this web site may harm your computer.
Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 5 time(s) over the past 90 days.
What happened when Google visited this site?

Of the 4 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 3 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2009-08-19, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2009-08-18.

Malicious software includes 8 trojan(s), 2 scripting exploit(s), 2 virus. Successful infection resulted in an average of 1 new process(es) on the target machine.

Malicious software is hosted on 1 domain(s), including chura.pl/.

This site was hosted on 1 network(s) including AS32244 (LIQUID).

Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?

Over the past 90 days, thatverycollege.org did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.

Has this site hosted malware?

No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

How did this happen?

In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.
This was the scan report of thatverycollege.org website

How to Scan a Website?

Now definitely you are very much eager to know what the easiest way to scan a website is. Google helps us to scan a website through their scan system and here is the tool of Google.
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=www.example.com (replace www.example.com with your own site address). It will show whether Google found anything suspicious on your site.

Thanking you

What Is Virtumonde

2009-08-30T09:53:00.000-07:00

What is Virtumonde?

Dear Friends,

In our earlier posting we discussed about Fake Antivirus and it may be in case of Spyware i.e.: Fake Anti-Spyware but now we are going to discuss you who is the villain behind all these. We think now you have understood what its name is, yes it is Virtumonde. So let us make you clear what Virtumonde is? This is a Trojan which came in the world of internet I the year 2004 for playing a dangerous game with us i.e.: netizens.

What do they do?

If they are installed they come in the form of pop up by showing that your computer is infected and u need to scan it by a particular anti-virus or anti-spyware and the said pop-up will also come on your screen when you are offline and not only that they disable your automatic system update and the function of your original antivirus. Do you know if you are infected by this Trojan they don’t allow your browser to surf those sites which guides you to remove this Trojan, disable the registry editor, msconfig, task manager, Firewall? So we think now you have understood how danger this is.

Its Removal.

It is tough to remove this Trojan from computer if once infected but you can get help or try by reading the guidelines of www.bleepingcomputer.com but we are not sure about this when one of our friend’s computer was infected we advised him to format the computer after taking a backup of some important files and he did so. But mind it if your anti-virus is updated they will alert you that your system is infected with vundo or Virtumonde Trojan.

So friends take care keep on touch with us for some more cyber crime prevention awareness which you don’t know.

Fake Antivirus

2009-08-27T14:09:00.000-07:00

Fake Anti virus

Dear friends,

We think most of we love our PC or Laptop and for that we always want to keep our computer clean from all kinds of dangers and for that all the experts say that we should use Antivirus. So we think all of we know what is antivirus and what it does for our computer and as we all are afraid of virus both in human and computer life we always keep our self from viruses. For this two types of men in the world are running their business. One of them want to do good for us and the other person pretends to do good for us but actually they do nothing for us rather they causes harm to our both in economical and living age.

So now we thing you have guessed what we are going to say. Yes it is like fake medicine which does not work in your body but can cause harm to you and it happens to their life who are trapped by the dishonest businessman. So fake antivirus is that antivirus which comes to you in disguise of antivirus but work nothing for you installing Trojan, Spyware and Adware to your machine.

When you will understand its presence, what are the dangers and what to do?

When you see that a pop up is blinking in your screen that your machine/computer is infected by ………..viruses and for removing this virus you will have to install that particular antivirus as no other antivirus can remove this. Don’t be tensed just use your original updated antivirus and scan your machine and do nothing for that fake antivirus even don’t click on them

You see a pop up is blinking and asking you like “do you want to free scan your machine from viruses?”. Don’t do this as if you do that they will show you so many viruses had already been installed in your machine and the message like earlier noted and not only that if you do that they will install some viruses in our machine and for that you will have to either purchase their product or formatting your machine and during purchasing you will have to give them your credit card number which will be misused by them .

So when you get this type of message don’t get nervous just avoid them and don’t show your interest on them but by mistake if you click on them there is every possibility to install virus or Trojan or spyware or adware in your computer. So always keep your computer scanning regularly and update it regularly. Computer experts says this type of anti-viruses as “rogue antivirus” and this is the system the dishonest cyber businessmen and cyber criminals are applying this in the cyber world. So be cautious.

With thanks

Some steps to save your computer

2009-08-25T12:37:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends,

After long interval again here are some tips for you for keeping your computers safe from hackers/crackers which is given to us by one of our readers for the sake of all netizens who has to visit internet for their works.

1. Install Anti-Virus Software - This should not even have to be listed, if you don’t have anti-virus software installed, you’re asking for trouble! And if your reason for not installing anti-virus software is because it’s too expensive, then that can reason can be shot down because there are several free anti-virus programs out there that are considered better than commercial software packages

2. Update All Software - Installing an anti-virus program by itself is not enough. There are hundreds of new threats that are found daily and the anti-virus programs release updates regularly to combat the new threats. Make sure you anti-virus program is set to update automatically so that you don’t have to rely on your memory to do it. Also, this goes for all the software on your computer. The most important software to keep up to date is your Windows operating system. It is essential to have Automatic Updates turned on and set to download and install updates automatically.

3. Install only Trusted Software - If you’re not sure what a piece of software does from it’s name, then don’t install it. Also, don’t install anything you didn’t intend to install in the first place. Sometimes programs will ask you to install other programs during the install of the first application. Be careful of that because it’s usually spyware. Install software from big names sites only, such as Microsoft or Adobe.

4. Avoid P2P File Sharing Software – If used with great caution, P2P software is quite useful for movies, songs and software, but if you’re not very technically savvy, you might end up downloading a song that has a keystroke logger attached to it that will send anything you type to some other computer over the Internet. It’s almost impossible to tell that this is occurring unless your anti-virus or anti-spyware programs pick it up in their scans.

5. Delete Unknown Emails – If you receive emails from random people’s names, do not bother to open the email, just delete it. If you have any doubts after reading the name and the subject, it’s probably not someone you know. Never download or open attachments unless you are sure it’s from someone you know. Give the person a call quickly and ask them if you’re not sure. Most large companies that you create online accounts with will not send you attachments unless you specifically ask for them through their web site. Also, be wary of any emails from sites pretending to be banks, auction sites, etc asking for you to verify bank account info or address info. No bank ever does that.

6. Do not click on Ads - Avoid clicking on ads if you can. Especially those ads where something is flying around and if you shoot the duck, you win some prize! Ads have become more sophisticated in that they try to make the ad interactive so that you’ll be tempted to play it like a game.

7. Run Virus Scans Regularly – If you’re not in the mood to scan every day, at least run a scan once a week. Actually, setup a schedule for your computer in your anti-virus software to run a scan late at night or whenever you don’t use your computer and that way you won’t be bothered with a slow computer.

8. Be careful what you attach to your computer – This is a more common way to transfer viruses than you might think. Everyone now has a USB flash stick that they carry around on their key chains, ready to snap into any computer. But who knows what your viruses are on your friends computers and what accidentally got transferred to their USB stick. A lot of virus programs will auto launch right when the USB stick is put into the computer, so you don’t even have to open or download any of the files to be infected.

9. Avoid Shady Web Sites – If you need to look at porn, then make sure you do it in a virtual environment. You are DEFINITELY going to get some virus or spyware if you browse porn sites on your computer. Virtualization basically allows you to run programs like Internet Explorer in a virtual environment that does not effect your current operating system. If you want to find out more, search for “Virtual PC” or “VM Ware” in Google. Otherwise, simply avoid going to shady web sites!

10. Turn On or Install a Firewall - If you’re running Windows XP, make sure Windows Firewall is turned on. A firewall prevents hackers from gaining access to your computer by limiting the number of ports that are open to the public. Also, when buying a wireless router, make sure it has a built in firewall. Having a software and hardware firewall is better than just having one or the other.

11. Secure Your Wireless Network – Most wireless routers are set to no security when you install them. Be sure to log into the router and at least set the basic security that requires a password. There are stronger encryption options, but if you don’t understand those, then simply set a password on the router, otherwise anyone can connect to your home network and access everything.

12. Use a Complex Password for Login – This means that you should already have a password to login to your computer. Not having a password at all is not a good idea. Create a password for all user accounts and make sure it’s complex. Complex means it should have numbers, upper case characters, lower case characters, and symbols. This makes it way more difficult for a hacker to get into your computer.

How to restore a hijacked browser

Dear Friends,

Now we will give the tips for restore the hijacked Browser which is published in microsoft.com.So friends now pl read it and take its help if youe Browser is hijacked.

The following six tips can help restore your browser's settings:

Stop cascading pop-up windows.

If endless pop-up windows appear on your screen, you'll probably want to stop the deluge first. To do this in Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 while using Internet Explorer:

1.	Press CTRL+ALT+DEL, click Task Manager, and then click the Processes tab.
2.	Click IEXPLORE.EXE, and then click the End Process button.

This closes all instances of Internet Explorer. Then you can re-open the program to continue browsing as usual. To help prevent future attacks, you should also have a pop-up blocker turned on. To turn on the pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer 7:

1.	Click Tools menu, click Internet Options, and then click the Privacy tab.
2.	In the Pop-up Blocker box, select the Block pop-ups check box. Click OK.

If you still experience the other effects of a hijacked Web browser, try the following:

Install preventive software such as the kinds mentioned in the preceding Preventing browser hijacks section. Many browser hijacking programs can be identified and removed by downloading, installing, and running these programs.

Run the Malicious Software Removal Tool. This can catch some, but not all, kinds of hijacking software.

Reset Internet Explorer settings. If you're using Internet Explorer and your home page has been changed, you can often reset it yourself.

•	Close any Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer windows that are currently open.
•	Open Internet Explorer.
•	Click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
•	Click the Advanced tab, and then click Reset.
•	In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, click Reset.
•	When Internet Explorer finishes restoring the settings, click Close, and then click OK.

Disable add-ons. Many browser hijackings come from add-ons, also known as ActiveX controls, browser extensions, browser helper objects, or toolbars. These items can improve your experience on a Web site by providing multimedia or interactive content, such as animations. However, some add-ons can cause your computer to stop responding or display content that you don't want, such as pop-up ads.

To learn how to disable add-ons in Windows Vista or Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), read How do browser add-ons affect my computer?

Removing unwanted programs with the Add/Remove feature. If you're ready to try some advanced removal methods, the Microsoft Help and Support article Unexplained computer behavior may be caused by deceptive software provides additional steps you can take, including how to use the Add/Remove feature, the built-in program remover, and the program finder in Windows Explorer.

Empty the Recycle Bin. When you've finished these steps, especially if you've removed an unwanted program. Then restart your computer.

What is Browser Hijacking

2009-08-15T21:26:00.000-07:00

What is Browser Hijacking

Dear Friends,

Today we will discuss about Browser Hijacking and its details. So we think before discussing Browser Hijacking you must know some definitions which will help you to understand this easily and we think if the netizens know this they will realize if this thing happens to them as now a days due to the strong anti viruses the cyber criminals are using this method to get the data of netizens during net surfing for exploiting them.

So Let’s start our discussion with the definitions:-

Browser: - What is Browser? It is we think known to all. It is an application program that provides a way to look at and interact with all the information on the World Wide Web. So web browser is a client program that uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) to make requests of Web servers throughout the Internet on behalf of the browser user.

Plug-in:- What is Plug-in? Plug-in applications are programs that can easily be installed and used as part of your Web browser. They are called helper applications and run as run as a separate application and require that a second window be opened. They add additional software to your computer when web page is accessed.

Active X: - What is Active X? ActiveX is a set of object-oriented programming (OOP) technologies and tools that Microsoft developed for Internet Explorer to facilitate rich media playback. ActiveX is Microsoft's technology for signing plug-ins.

Computer Parasites: - What is this? Computer parasites are unsolicited malicious programs, which are installed to the system without user knowledge and consent. Most of these threats silently run in background, so you can't notice them. If you have running suspicious processes, strange toolbars in your web browser, changed system settings, undesirable pop-ups or your system runs too slowly and unstably, then there is a huge possibility that your computer is infected with some parasites. Parasites affect mostly Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser.

And now we will come to our main point that is to make you understand clearly what Browser Hijacking is. We think we need not tell you what is hijacking as even the children of today know the term hijacking from the televisions and films. So we think you have already guessed what Browser Hijacking is. Suppose you wanted to go to London but but but you were forced to go to Lahore by the ………………….So who are they? Are they friends or foe? Definitely they are foe and they are criminals yes they are Hijackers. In the same way you opened your browser for visiting Google and your browser is opening page for Alkaida or Pornography. What is this? This is Browser hijacking.

What cyber world says about Browser Hijacking is that it is a malicious program, usually a web browser plug-in that modifies web browser settings in order to change default home, search or error page and redirect a user to undesirable Internet sites. The most generally accepted description for browser hijacking software is external code that changes your Internet Explorer settings. Generally your home page will be changed and new favorites will be added. Most browser hijackers take advantage of Internet Explorer's ability to run ActiveX scripts straight from a web page. Generally, these programs will request permission to install them via a popup that loads when you visit a certain site. If you accidentally give them permission to install, IE will execute the program on your computer, changing your settings. Others may use security holes within Internet Explorer to install themselves automatically without any user interaction at all. Worse, these can be launched from popup ad windows which the user has not even intended to view. (Source www.2-spyware.com)

How Browser Hijacker Comes to you

2009-08-15T21:04:00.000-07:00

How Browser Hijacker Comes To You

Dear Friends,

Now we will tell you how they come to your computer as this will help us to stay away from installing Browser hijacking programs in our computer

1. Usually browser hijackers are installed by unsafe freeware, shareware or advertising-supported programs such as various browser add-ons or toolbars. Even some reputable products’s Instant Messenger can change default web browser settings. Uninstalling the host application in most cases doesn’t remove bundled parasite.

2. Lots of spyware and adware parasites have integrated browser hijackers that get silently installed during the host parasite’s installation process. Removing a particular spyware or adware doesn’t affect a browser hijacker.

3. Some widely spread browser hijackers get into the system using Internet Explorer ActiveX controls or exploiting certain web browser vulnerabilities. Their authors run insecure web sites (mostly with pornographic or illegal advertising content) filled with malicious code or distribute unsafe advertising pop-ups. Whenever a user visits such a site or clicks on such a pop-up, harmful scripts instantly install a parasite. A user cannot notice anything suspicious, as browser hijackers do not display any setup wizards, dialogs or warnings.

It is known that some browser hijackers are dropped by specific viruses, worms or Trojans.

So dear readers now you have realized that if you don’t do this you are safe from Browser hijacking.(Source www.2-spyware.com)

What is File Binding

2009-08-12T13:05:00.000-07:00

What is File Binding

Dear Friends,

Now we will tell you that dangerous thing of internet and computer science which is enough to damage your dear computer by coming to your computer home as your invitee and now you have started your guess what it is. We will not keep you in suspense and so now we will tell you what it is and why we are discussing about this. But friends we are discussing about this for informing you how danger it is. Do you know paper filing? We thing most of you know this as this is part and parcel of official work and our personal job. When we keep different papers in a file in a office and then bind it or we can keep the papers serially in a file and bind it its called file binding in our regular life. And same activity is done by the cyber criminals when they use this conception to hack or damage your computer. Now lets explain it to you in a easy way so that you can understand and keep yourself aware from this danger.

Two or more file bind together in a single file is called file binding. Lets take an example. Suppose you have downloaded a picture from Internet. You double click on it to view the picture. As you double click on the picture, it will open in your default picture viewer and an executable file starts running in background silently. That may be a virus, worm, spy ware and add ware or Trojan.

That’s mean picture. jpg + virus. exe = picture1.jpeg or it may be game.exe + virus.exe = fungame.exe

File binding can be done with JAVA programming easily. But the simplest way to bind two or more files in a single file is by using winrar, where we can bind many files into a single file. . And this is the most dangerous for them who downloads movies , ebooks and so on. Not only that we can also set the program priority, means which program to run first.

So we think we have made you clear why we have discussed this before you as in our next discussions we will discuss about different types of wares.

How to understand your email id is spoofed

2009-08-08T09:13:00.000-07:00

How to understand your email id is spoofed

Dear Friends,

We would request you to read it carefully as here you will find a point about a link on point no (2) and through that we have tried to tell you how to understand a dangerous link which is vulnarable to your computer as now a day the cyber criminals are not directly sending viruses due to strong antivirus programs but they are using links(url) to trap the netizens and spreading viruses and for that we would request you to read it be cautious.

Spoofed Email – Spoofing refers to email that appears to have been sent from someone other than the real sender. Virus writers and individuals who send junk email or "spam", typically want the email to appear to be from an email address that is not their own. Thus, the email cannot be traced back to the originator.

It is often impossible to know if you have received a spoof however to the careful observer there are several clues that help to separate a spoof from a legitimate communication.

Typically, you will know that your email has been spoofed if:

1) An email is from a commercial entity and the message requests that you provide your log in ID or your account will be suspended it is likely a spoofed email. Reputable commercial entities regularly contact their customers by email but they don't ask for log in ID because they already have it.

2) By highlighting links within the suspect email with the mouse cursor and to then looking at the status line at the bottom left of the screen. If the URL in the status line and the link your mouse is highlighting do not match up a spoofer is likely at work. Note that because JavaScript can be used to change the status line this method is not fool proof. Overall, this is a good technique because a lot of spoofers do not bother to use the JavaScript to change the status line.

3) You receive an email with a text file indicates a virus had been detected and removed/replaced

4) You receive a reply to an email from someone you never sent a message to

5) You receive an error message from a system administrator that you sent an infected file or that your message could not be sent to a particular user

6) You receive an email with a blank message.

Fake SSL

2009-08-04T10:52:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends,

Here is a good comment from one of our reader and we think that this will help our other readers to enrich their knowledge in this field and they will also be cautios in future by reading this. So thanks to Mr. Sitangshu for sharing his knowledge with us and as it is a good one we have decided to bring it before all of you in the main posting of our blog. Again thanks to Mr. Sitangshu and here is his comment for all:-

Sitanshu said...

There were some very interesting guidelines on this title. I still thought that you may like to mention to your visitors about "Trusted Sites".

Trusted Sites are those sites that have a trusted securities certificate. Companies like VERISIGN for example issue "Trusted Security Certificates". That certificate means that the site is protected by SSL (Secured Socket Layer). To obtain such a certificate "VERISIGN" company would thoroughly investigate the ownership and history of the site. Once the site has received such a certification, their clients could be rest assured that they are opening a "Original Site" and not a "Fake Site".

But the irony is that hackers have managed to find a flaw even with the way a browser could be fooled into clicking into a site that is not SSL certified.

During a MITMA (Man in the middle attack phase), an attacker could wait for a person to click on a site that has an SSL certfication. But that site is a bogus site (meaning the person sending the link inserted the trusted site certificate, but the really is not SSL certified" . It has a "Site name that contains a Proper SSL certified site name followed by a blank followed by the rest of the name which is "the complete fake site name".

FAKE SITE = GOOD SITE PARTNAME + NULL + FAKE SITE NAME

Browser stops reading at the NULL character

So when you click on the link with that kind of site name with a null character in the middle of the name followed by the fake site address, you are really conned into entering into a fake site that the browser could not catch. Here you start entering your personal data like credit card number etc. and you become a victim.

I tried explaining a difficult concept in a few words. For more clarity please visit this link on a recent news item...

Please keep writing. We are all indebted to you and your blog.

What you should know about opening files from the Internet or e-mail

The most common way for computer viruses to spread is through files that you get from the Internet or e-mail. So before you download a file or click an e-mail attachment, consider:

Does that file have a virus?

You won't know unless you check. Make sure you have an antivirus program installed and that it is up to date and set to scan all incoming e-mail attachments and downloaded files. Keeping your antivirus program up to date improves its chances of catching the latest known virus.
If you do not have antivirus software installed, you should purchase and install an up-to-date antivirus program to help protect your computer. For a list of popular antivirus programs, see Microsoft Antivirus Partners (http://www.microsoft.com/security/partners/antivirus.asp).

What do you know about that e-mail attachment?

Before you open an e-mail message or attachment, consider:
Do you know and trust the sender of the e-mail message? If you get e-mail from a person or business you’ve never heard of before, you should be cautious.
Have you exchanged e-mail with this person before? If you get e-mail from someone you know but have never corresponded with, ask yourself if there is any reason you’re getting this message now—especially if the message has a file attachment or contains a link to a Web site.
Do you have any reason to expect e-mail from this person? If you are surprised to see e-mail from this person, be cautious about opening the message.
Does the message on the subject line make sense coming from the sender? If the subject line is just gibberish or nonsense, you’ll be safer if you delete the message.
If the answer to all of the questions above is no, it's probably best to delete the message.
If you know the sender of the message but the message looks suspicious, don't hesitate to send a message to the sender asking if they really sent the e-mail to you. It’s much easier to check before you open the message than it is to clean viruses off of your computer.

Can I trust every Web site?

Not every Internet neighborhood is safe. Be cautious of a Web site if…
You were referred to the site by e-mail from someone you don’t know.
The site contains objectionable material, such as pornography.
The site makes offers that seem too good to be true. Is it just trying to lure you to the site?
You are asked to provide a credit card number but there is no indication that the Web site ensures its transactions is secure.
The site offers free membership but asks you to provide extensive personal information that does not seem necessary or that you do not want to provide.

More trustworthy sites tend to…
Be certified by an Internet trust organization such as BBBonline, TRUSTe, or WebTrust. Look for their logo on the site and click the logo to make sure it is authentic.
Provide a privacy statement that you can understand and that you are comfortable with.
Provide a way to contact the creator or organization—a physical location, phone number, e-mail address, or mailing address.
Have a clearly posted return policy (when applicable) that allows you to return the merchandise if you are not satisfied.
Offer proof of secure transactions, such as a statement that your credit card information will be encrypted, or a symbol in the browser status area that indicates the transaction is secure.

Is it safe to download that file?
You can help protect your computer by thinking carefully before you download a file.

Heed any warnings. When a Web site attempts to download a file to your computer, Internet Explorer will display a message about saving, running, or installing the file. If the message contains a yellow caution icon, then the file has been identified as a type that could pose a risk.
Make sure the message shows the file source (publisher name). If the publisher can't be identified, it is safer to delete the file unless you know for certain who created it.
Make sure you completely trust the Web site providing the file.
Make sure the file is something you requested or are expecting.

Consider the content. Picture, music, and plain-text files are less likely to be harmful. These file types have names that end with a three-letter extension such as .jpg, .gif, .mp3, or .txt. You should be very cautious with all other file types.

How to Trust a Web Site.

How do you know which Web sites you can trust? Some Web sites request personal information that you would rather keep private, display advertisements you do not want to see, or expose your computer to software that contains viruses or other security threats. It's difficult to be completely certain, but there are a few key things to look for.

· Is it certified by an Internet trust organization such as BBBonline, TRUSTe, or Web Trust?

Sites that display privacy certification logos have agreed to follow certain practices like providing a comprehensive privacy statement. If you read these statements, you should be able to determine what data the site collects and what the site does with that data (for example, share it with a third party or use it to display personalized advertisements). The certification does not mean that the site collects no data. It means that the privacy statement will tell you what data the site collects so you can decide if you want to use that Web site.

· Is the site from an organization you know and already trust?

For example, it a vendor you have a positive ongoing relationship with or a widely recognized brand or institution that you trust? The site should provide a privacy statement or a Terms of Use statement. Reading these statements should make it clear what will happen when you use the site. If you are not comfortable with the terms or behaviors (for example, you do not want to be tracked or to see advertisements), do not use the site.

· If you don't recognize the site, do you have other information to help you decide?

You should thoroughly research the site before using its services. Read the site's disclosures, ask friends and colleagues you trust, and search the Web for positive or negative articles about the site.

· Does it ask you to provide sensitive personal data?

If you are asked to provide sensitive personal data (such as your password, social security number, credit card number, or bank information), only do so if there is a valid reason and if the site uses a secure method to collect this data. Look for a statement indicating this information will be encrypted or look for the golden padlock symbol in your browser status area to indicate that the information will be transferred using secure methods.

· If it is a retail site, does it have a return policy?

When making a purchase on a Web site, verify that the site has a posted return policy and that the terms are acceptable to you.

Be cautious of a Web site if…

You were referred to the site by e-mail from someone you do not know.
The site contains objectionable material such as pornography.
The site makes offers that seem too good to be true. Are they just trying to lure you to their site?
You are asked to provide a credit card number without proof that the transaction is secure.
The site offers free membership but asks you to provide extensive personal information that does not seem necessary or that you do not want to provide.

What is Bot and Botnet

2009-07-29T07:22:00.000-07:00

What is Bot and Botnet

Dear Friends,

Today we will discuss with you about a dangerous virus named as “Bot”. Bots are similar to Trojans and worms but they perform automated tasks for their master (who created them). And when miscreants are hijacking and linking thousands of compromised computers, called “Botnets”, to launch coordinated attacks. A botnet in action is under the remote command and control of a criminal known as a "Bot Master." Bot is an abbreviation for ‘Robot’. A computer Bot is a remotely controlled malware program that is installed onto a computer without the knowledge or consent of the computer's owner. This type of program may have complete control over the operation of that computer and its Internet functions, but usually does not reveal its presence to the computer's owner or users, or try to interfere with the normal operation of that computer. When a Bot is installed onto a computer that computer will not only be remotely controlled, but will become an unwilling member of a network of similar Bots, known as a "Botnet".

How Bots are installed in Computer

How Bots are installed in Computer

Dear Friends,

Computers are infected by bots through different techniques of cyber criminals and hackers. The hackers, crackers and cyber criminals install bot in your computer through hostile links in spam emails and instant messages, hostile JavaScript codes embedded into web pages (with or without knowledge of the website owners), trickery (Trojans - self infection) and social networking site exploits. Some of the tricks used to cause people to infect their own computers with Trojan Bots are phony e-cards and Postcards (favorite of the Storm Botnet), links to view videos where you are informed that you are missing a required or updated Flash player or Codec, and fake security scans that trick you into installing fraudulent security programs to remove the non-existent infections revealed in the fake scan or alert.

Feeling of Bots’ Presence and how to Get Relief

2009-07-29T07:15:00.000-07:00

Feeling of Bots’ Presence

Dear Friends

Now the question is when you will feel that ‘bot’ has been installed in your computer system secretly. If you find that your key board is not working properly. You are pressing “x” but it is displaying “t” or something other but previously it was working normally. This is an example of the danger side of ‘bot’ in your computer. The other signs include poor computer system performance, slower response times and longer start-up and shut-down times, dramatic loss in Internet connection speeds, loss of hard disk space, web browser frequently closes for no apparent reason, browser's home page resets and cannot be changed, new desktop icons and applications, like toolbars, suddenly appear, access to various computer security-related Web sites is blocked, pop-up ads appear even when the Web browser is closed. Some other signs are computer seems to be accessing the hard drive constantly, an unresponsive mouse and keyboard, when you open your email there are several bounce notifications from people you never tried to email, there is internet activity or your modem's activity light continuously flashes even when you're not even accessing the net, your virus checker is disabled and you're unable to update your antivirus program.

How to get relief from Bot

The national security agencies and cyber crime authorities of different countries are awaring the netizens for preventing the bot and as per the suggestion of cyber security agencies and cyber crime detection wings the netizens should install antivirus software, firewall, using strong passwords, and a good email and download behavior. Even now a day some very good antivirus companies like Norton have brought Antibot software for preventing bots in computer. There are also some free versions of Antibot in the net but I get scarred to use those for favorite personal computers and laptops.

what is worm

2009-07-28T05:24:00.000-07:00

What is Worm?

Dear Friends,

We have already discussed about the details of Trojan and we will discuss about worm and how it endangers our computer and how we can get rid of from this. So lets start about where from it has come and what it is and how to get relief.

History: - Initially this term was used for good purpose but as the time passes it lost its importance to the world as the computer misusers misused it and changed its nature and character for their personal ill motive. The term "worm" actually comes from a science fiction story called The Shockwave Rider written by John Brunner in 1975. In short, the story is about a totalitarian government that controls its citizens through a powerful computer network. A freedom fighter infests this network with a program called a "tapeworm" forcing the government to shut down the network, thereby destroy its base of power.

But the world was not much aware about that word as it was not known to all but on 2nd November 1988 when Robert Tappan Morris, a Cornell University graduate student and son of Robert Morris, the former chief scientist at the National Computer Security Center, a division of the National Security Agency (NSA), when brought it in the internet from MIT to conceal the fact that it actually originated from Cornell, it became famous (????) to all as it caused near about 6000 to 9000 computer damaged and collapsed the internet but when he realized that it is causing huge harm to the cyber and computer world he then contacting with one of his friend from Harvard send an anonymous message about how to prevent them and how to heal the infected computer from Harvard over the network but as the internet was clogged it was not reached to anyone, which resulted millions of dollar loss. But as per his version he wanted to gauge the measure of internet and how many computers are in touch with internet and even he did not realize at the time of creation that it may cause such huge loss and it is heard that it was programmed in such a way that it would keep continue counting how many computers in the net has got infected. So this is the history.

What actually worm is: - A worm is similar to a virus by design and is considered to be a sub-class of a virus. Worms spread from computer to computer, but unlike a virus, it has the capability to travel without any human action. A worm takes advantage of file or information transport features on your system, which is what allows it to travel unaided.

The biggest danger with a worm is its capability to replicate itself on your system, so rather than your computer sending out a single worm, it could send out hundreds or thousands of copies of itself, creating a huge devastating effect. Many worms come in the form of email file attachments, or as hidden additions to actual email messages, which trigger the execution of infectious code. And even some website contents may carry worm and when you click on them they will try to get installed if you don’t have good antivirus in your system.

Only a good Antivirus can stop and prevent the worm by its background scanning and keep the antivirus always updated.

How Trojan Comes to you

2009-07-25T23:29:00.000-07:00

How Trojans enters in your computer.

Dear Friends,

In our previous discussion we already told you what is Trojan and what is the history of Trojan and there we published two pictures through which we explained that if you invite Trojan in your room i.e.: computer they enters there otherwise they don’t have any chance to enter there and you can keep yourselves free from them. So we have primarily understood how the most dangerous computer program Trojan enters in your computer and now we will bring before you the experts comment in a nutshell about how Trojans enters in your computer.
Here the ways or paths, which we give the Trojan to enter in our room and stay with us safely for causing danger to our computer and personal life:-

1) When we download software from an unknown website with an executable file. It comes in windows platform with .exe, .bat, .com, .vbs extension.
2) When we share file during chatting with known and unknown friends.
3) When we download crack file from different websites for validating the trial version of software as experts say that most of the crack files contains Trojan.
4) It comes through multi-extension file name such as .txt.vbs or .jpg.exe and the Trojan creators hide the last extension so that the downloader can’t see the original file status.
5) When we download or open any attachment file or picture from an unknown or untrusted sender.
6) When you blindly type commands that others tell you to type, or go to web addresses mentioned by strangers, or run pre-fabricated programs or scripts.

7) When we open porn sites and porn pictures.

So now you have understood which can stop you from being the victim of Trojan and we think you will follow this during net surfing and installing any file from any outside source.

Nuisense value of Trojan

2009-07-25T23:27:00.000-07:00

What casualty Trojan does in your computer.

Dear Friends,

Now we will tell you the danger site of Trojans in our computer. We think that you read about cookies and there we learnt that the websites keeps their evidences in the browser for identifying you in the next time when you visit or they keep some records for their creators as their needs and it may be for good or bad. In the same manner if Trojan is installed in your computer the Trojan creates backdoor for his creator for operating your computer from remote by sitting far from you. You just think that the door, windows and all holes of your room are closed and sealed and then can anyone do anything in your room? No it’s impossible as there is no hole to get entry there. But if he can manage to create a hole or open the window or door, he can do anything there by using his power and knowledge. So Trojan is that it creates backdoor in your computer through which the hacker or cyber criminals can hack your system and cause casualty. But you should keep in mind that Trojan can’t do anything without the control of any person or system it does that what its creator programmed it during creation. It just resides in your system hidden and when the said executable file is executed by any means it comes with its original nature. It can format your any drive as per their program or deletes your important data and they can do anything as controlled by their operator.
When they take control your computer is called a bot, since it is now their robot. All passwords, data, system settings, just about anything you can think of can be changed or monitored. Each keystroke you do can be captured. Your sound, screen functions, mouse, you name it can be altered. They can completely control your computer. So these are the vulnerable sides of Trojans.
