Avoid Phishing by Going Directly to the Site [Phishing] We've all seen "urgent" emails from exiled princes telling us to act quickly and hand over our bank account or other sensitive information. Since we're savvy folks, we promptly hit the Delete button and move on with our lives. That said, not all phishing scams are so obvious, and sometimes a phishing email can be very convincing. The Official Google Blog highlights a few simple tips that will greatly diminish your chances of getting hooked by a phishing scam. For example, the post recommends always going directly to the site yourself rather than clicking on links in suspicious emails, which will ensure you're dealing with your the source and not some nefarious site set up to look like your bank.

In computing, phishing is an attempt to criminally and fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. eBay, PayPal and online banks are common targets. Phishing is typically carried out by email or instant messaging, and often directs users to enter details at a website, although phone contact has also been used. Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to fool users. Attempts to deal with the growing number of reported phishing incidents include legislation, user training, public awareness, and technical measures. A phishing technique was described in detail as early as 1987, while the first recorded use of the term "phishing" was made in 1996.

Phishing (pescar) es el nombre que ha recibido un tipo de delito encuadrado dentro del ámbito de las estafas, y que se comete mediante el uso de un tipo de ingeniería social caracterizado por intentar adquirir información confidencial de forma fraudulenta (como puede ser una contraseña o información detallada sobre tarjetas de crédito u otra información bancaria). El estafador, conocido como phisher, se hace pasar por una persona o empresa de confianza en una aparente comunicación oficial electrónica, por lo común un correo electrónico, o algún sistema de mensajería instantánea o incluso utilizando también llamadas telefónicas.Dado el creciente número de denuncias de incidentes relacionados con el phishing se requieren métodos adicionales de protección.

Phishing is when an information thief poses as a legitimate business or person for the purpose of tricking someone into divulging personal information. The phisher asks the victim to enter their name, address, phone number and possibly their bank account or credit card number. This is often done by giving them a web form to visit where the details can be entered. The most common phishing attacks are done via email and claim to be from your bank or a service like PayPal. Most of the real companies would never ask for their customer's information this way. Some of these attacks are done via a phone call to the target, which is called vishing.

Frode telematica o scambio di identità? La polemica infuria fortissima e tutti cercano di scaricare su qualcun altro le responsabilità per questa grottesca vicenda che solo oggi è stata resa nota. I protagonisti sono il ministero dell’istruzione, poste italiane, una banca egiziana, alcuni ignoti truffatori ancora in via di identificazione. La pietra dello scandalo sono 13 milioni di euro misteriosamente evaporati da un conto corrente postale acceso dal ministero e destinato al pagamento di alcuni sussidi familiari per i meno abbienti (i cosiddetti bonus famiglie). Il 16 gennaio un funzionario ministeriale si avvede del clamoroso ammanco e sporge immediatamente denuncia. Si sa, far sparire 13 milioni non è come rubare alcune centinaia di euro da un bancomat.

Types of Internet Banking FraudNothing’s easier than online banking. Just log in, view your bills, pay them, check on other accounts, and so on. I mean, aside from my grandparents, who doesn’t use the internet to bank these days?While it’s more secure than ever before, and in my opinion, much safer than the old-fashioned paper-bill method, you still have to keep an eye out for scammers and internet fraud types who are trying to get their hands on your money. Phishing Scams Chances are, you know all about these. Phishing scams or “spoofing scams” are not only pretty common, they’re probably the most insulting way thieves get their hands on your personal information. Why? Because you hand it right over to them.In phishing scams, crooks send a mass email to every address they can

La estafa mas lucrativa en Internet, parece tener un gran crecimiento en Republica Dominicana en los últimos años. Probablemente han recibido correos del Banco Popular, con el titulo "NOTICIA MUY IMPORTANTE!!" o "Error de Actualización", o quizás del Banco del Reservas, con el titulo "Autentificación de usuario" o "AVISO IMPORTANTE".

It seems there has been a wave of phishing attacks using instant messaging recently. ‘Phishing’ involves the use of spoofed IM and websites to entice unsuspecting individuals into divulging personal or financial data.Recent phishing attacks have included well crafted Instant Messages that appear to be sent from Yahoo! Instant Messenger, notifying the recipient to follow a link within the message with the following comments:see this comedy joke click on this link [URL] Ha ha ha click on link to laugh ... [URL] what a joke ...... [URL] nice one see this .... [URL] what a joke .....click to see [URL] what a joke ...... [URL] nice to listen ..........

Learn to recognize and avoid phishing. The Anti-Phishing Working Group has a good list of recommendations.Update your software regularly and run an anti-virus program. If a cyber-criminal gains control of your computer through a virus or a software security flaw, he doesn't need to resort to phishing to steal your information.Use different passwords on different sites and change them periodically. Phishers routinely try to log in to high-value targets, like online banking sites, with the passwords they steal for lower-value sites, like webmail and social networking services.
Notorious 20th-century bank robber Willie Sutton said famously, "I rob banks because that's where the money is." It seems 21st-century criminals are following his footsteps. But while Sutton disguised himself as a cop, a window washer and a Western Union messenger, cyberthieves use a different type of subterfuge - phishing - to cover their identities and wipe out bank accounts. Phishing occurs when fraudulent e-mails that appear to be from a legitimate source are sent in an effort to obtain sensitive information from a user. Those computer exploits and others are detailed in a survey of security threats and vulnerabilities for 2007 by the IBM Internet Security Systems X-Force. Of the top 20 companies targeted by phishing in 2007, the report says, 19 are in the banking industry. Compute
False Phishing-Warning for all Blogger (blogspot) Blogs! Kaspersky is already known for it's false reports. Google "Kasperksy false report" and you'll get 142.000 entries!So yesterday Kaspersky decided it would be fun to give a phishing warning for each Blogspot-Blog. They just tell every visitor, the blog was just made to steal creditcard-numbers. Great! How should my Blogs spy Creditcard-Numbers? I don't even have a form on my Blog where you could fill in any Numbers - let alone a Creditcard-Number! So how could it spy?By the way, Kaspersky seems to be the only programm, which has a problem with our Blogspot-Blogs. If I check it with other programms everything is fine and no phishing found. I hope Kaspersky will at least apologize for calling thousands of bloggers betrayers!

I remember a time, not long ago, when I was told that technology and email would save me time and be a more efficient, inexpensive and effective way of communication. Well, part of that is true. However, it seems the more people I meet, the more email I am receiving and sending. I don't know about you, but for me, it's an all day and evening endeavor. Something I use to do a few times a day, I am now doing all day long. In searching for a solution to filter out the many emails I receive, I was really looking for a way to reduce the SPAM. I hate SPAM! Phishing is another thing that drives me crazy! If it takes me 3 passwords to get into my secured network laptop, why is it so easy for them to get in? Phishing is when you get an email from the Bank (appearing to be your own) and they ask you to click on a bunch of different links, then enter private and personal information. DON'T DO IT! JUST DON'
Do you receive spam in your e-mail box? How can you determine what's real and what's not? Do you fear that opening an e-mail will cause a virus to roam around your firm's network and do some potential damage? You're not alone. I'm sure that everyone receives spam on a daily basis. Some of it is harmless and others can be a threat to your system and even cause identity theft. Phishing scams have been around for quite some time now, where an e-mail would ask you to enter some personal information into a fake website that looks quite real. They would create a look-a-like web page that looks exactly the same as a bank or large corporation's site. Then they would lure you into entering your bank account information, pin, etc. After this, they would use this information to transfer funds from your account or do other damage. They would even sell your personal information in chat rooms on the black market. One easy way to know

El estafador, conocido como phisher, se hace pasar por una persona o empresa de confianza en una aparente comunicación oficial electrónica, por lo común un correo electrónico o algún sistema de mensajería instantánea, entre otros..
En un correo electrónico que llega al usuario de Gmail, se invita al usuario a ingresar a un enlace para confirmar sus datos. De más está decir que este mensaje es falso y tiene como objetivo robar los datos d

I am not the kind of person to ever copy and paste articles onto my site, but I was directed to this article by one of my readers and I really wanted to share it word for word with you. The article deals with Product Test Panel, a company which I found to be a scam eariler this year, so with the authors permission, here it is:

Esto es algo que de verdad me molesta. Que los estupidos estafadores utilicen el desastre ocurrido en Tabasco para hacer sus engaños.
El dia de hoy he recibido un email con el siguiente titulo: Ayuda Para Tabasco cuyo remitente dice TELMEX (tabasco-ayuda@telmex.com) y el correo dice lo siguiente:
TABASCO Y CHIAPAS PIDEN AYUDA
Damnificados de Tabasco necesitan de tu solidaridad; puedes acudir a la Casa de la Cultura de Tabasco o bien al Zocalo del DF. Aportaciones en efectivo: estas deben realizarse a nombre de la Cruz Roja Mexicana, Institucion de Asistencia Publica, en la cuenta 0401010115, de BBVA Bancomer.
Personal del sistema de Naciones Unidas se encuentra ya en los estados mexicanos de Tabasco y Chiapas, afectados por graves inundaciones, para ayudar a las autoridades locales y nacionales en la coordinación de la respuesta ante el desastre.
Llego la hora de empezar de nuevo. La labor de reconstruccion dio inicio y con ella miles de toneladas de basura. Aqui las imágenes.

A Salesforce.com employee was tricked into disclosing a password, providing the phisher with information on a customer contact list.
Those were the headlines this week.
With Software on-demand on the rise, and the “All You Need is a Browser and an Internet connection” sales pitch, bad things can happen. Just remind yourself and your 9 year old daughter surfing the Internet unattended.
By now, we have all received emails coming from PayPal, eBay, and even major Banks asking you to log in and verify your account. If you don’t have a Citibank account asking for information, that smells like a “phish”. But what if you do?
What if your entire Sales database is “behind that browser” and you get that “security email” with the same look and feel interface? At first glance, it would be hard to detect it on the email.
Sure, both Firefox and IE7 has anti-phishing features. I’ll be giving some great tips on using Firefox in an upcom
Customers received fake invoices, viruses, key-logging softwareSalesforce.com is warning customers that they may be the targets of malicious software or phishing scams, after one of its employees was tricked into divulging a corporate password.In a note to customers, Salesforce said that online criminals have been sending customers fake invoices and, starting just a few days ago, viruses and key-logging software. The e-mails were sent using information that was illegally obtained from Salesforce.com.Salesforce.com touts its Web-based customer relationship management products as easier to use and maintain than traditional CRM applications, but this latest development underlines the security risks that come with this more open model.The problems began a few months ago, when a Salesforce.com employee fell for a phishing scam and divulged a company password that gave attackers access to a customer contact list. With this password, the criminals were able to obtain first and last names, com

Lostmon ha enviado un informe de un nuevo tipo de phishing, que apunta a usuarios de Gmail, esta vez atacando uno de los nuevos servicios de Google. El engaño comienza con un correo electrónico, donde se pide al usuario la verificación de su cuenta en Gmail. Su procedencia no es legítima, y así lo demuestran los datos que aparecen en la cabecera si los mismos son examinados.Siguiendo el enlace que aparece en el mensaje, se redirige al usuario a Google Checkout, el nuevo servicio que permite comprar por Internet de forma segura, mediante los datos de login de las cuentas personales en Gmail.Pero el sitio, que simula ser el original, está en un dominio falso. Los datos allí solicitados (incluyendo número de tarjeta de crédito, PIN, etc.), serán utilizados para la creación de una nueva cuenta de Google Checkout, quedando de esta manera, toda nuestra información en manos del atacante.Este tipo de engaño, también podría utilizar en el futuro otras vulnerabilidades para rediri
