How To Write and lodge Complaint in Cyber Crime Cases

Dear Friends/Colleagues

Due to lack of time I could not reach to you with my next topics. So again I have come to you with an important topic on cyber crime investigation i.e:- how to write complaint as victim in cyber crime cases. I feel this topic important as most of the cases get hampered due to weak complaint.

Generally in regular life netizens become victim in cyber crime cases as a victim of cyber stalking ( Fake profile in any social networking site or adult site for more pl search this blog on cyber stalking), online cheating through lottery, uploading personal intimate videos by someone in the net or something else.

So, when you are victim of these type of cases or any type of cyber crime related cases, take the print screen of those pages and copy the exact link which shows your profile only and also link of that page which shows your profile with others. Take the printout of those print screens.

If it is through any email take the entire print out of that email with its header file and attach it with your complaint.

There after lodge your complaint with those evidences to the Cyber Crime Police Station or nearby police station, where cyber crime police station does not exist. So this is not tough to understand and this will also help my colleagues to take complaint from victims in right manner. But if the complainant comes after lodging complaint to the website service provider for deactivating the link without copying the link address and the link becomes inactive, it could not be traced and it becomes next to impossible for LEAs to trace out the perpetrator until and unless you get the cached copy from Google or any other search engine.

What is latest cyber attack

What is the Latest cyber attack?

Dear Friends,

In this world both good and bad mentality persons exist. Someone wants to safe his country and someone pays money to criminals for committing crime and they get the benefit and steal all the requirements. This thing is happenning in the world and now in the cyber world. The countries with evil power are attacking the network system of their neighbour. So here is an example for you which has been published very recently. So pl read it and raise hatred to them.:

South Korea – Two South Korean government websites were struck by the second cyberattack in a week, but suffered no major damage, the government said Saturday.

Most of the computers trying to access the websites were traced to China, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security said in a statement.

The Korean Culture and Information Service and the Justice Ministry were the targets of the so-called denial of service attacks on Friday, in which large numbers of computers try to connect to a site at the same time to overwhelm the server, the statement said.

The security ministry said it quickly blocked access by 274 computers with Internet Protocol addresses — the Web equivalent of a street address or phone number — mostly in China.

On Wednesday, similar attacks originating from China occurred on a site run by the security ministry.

The statement said it was investigating who was behind the attacks.

Last year, government websites in South Korea and the U.S. were paralyzed by similar cyberattacks that South Korean officials believed were conducted by North Korea.

South Korean media have reported that North Korea runs an Internet warfare unit aimed at hacking into U.S. and South Korean military networks to gather information and disrupt service. Source (news.yahoo.com)

So after few years all of we will see that a country has taken responsibility to make cyber terrorists.

Fake Antivirus

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.

How to restore Hijacked Browser By Microsoft.Com

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:

1.	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:
2.	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.
3.	Run the Malicious Software Removal Tool. This can catch some, but not all, kinds of hijacking software.
4.	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. • Close Internet Explorer.
5.	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?
6.	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.
7.	Empty the Recycle Bin. When you've finished these steps, especially if you've removed an unwanted program. Then restart your computer. With Thanks Urproblemmysolution Team

What is Browser Hijacking

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

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 Bot and Botnet

                                                             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".

With Love

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

                                                      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

                                                                  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

                                         

                           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

                                  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.

Relief from Trojan

                                                  How we can get rid of Trojans

Dear Friends,

        We have discussed so far what is Trojan, history of Trojan, how it comes to you, what it does in your computer and now we will discuss you the last topic about Trojan i.e.: how to get rid of from Trojans. Anti-virus programs detect known Trojan horses. However, Trojan horse programs are easier to create than viruses and many are created in small volumes. These Trojan horse programs will not be detected by anti-virus software. The best defense against a Trojan horse is to never run a program that is sent to you. The others are as follows:-

1) Take back up of your important files and then format it and re-install the system.

2) Install good paid antivirus not the free version.

3) Keep the antivirus in auto scanning mode always.

4) Always allow your antivirus to scan your computer completely.

5) If you download any file or image or film don’t run it until you scanned it by your own good paid antivirus like Kaspersky and Norton. Don’t go against antivirus.
