SOCIAL NETWORKING / MOBILE PHONE PRIVACY

SOCIAL NETWORK PRIVACY

Social networking has opened up a whole new world for web surfers. In the matter of a few mouse clicks we are able to chat to people on the otherside of the world, share photo’s and videos with family and friends and keep up to date with busy social events. It has virtually revolutionalised our worlds. We cannot seem to go even a few hours without checking our social networks and deciding what to brag about online. But it is not all glossy and crystal clear as it may seem. Social networking is the latest platform for a range of fraud and privacy infringement.

You might not know it, but anything and everything you input or interact with in social networking sites is broadcast throughout the entire world wide web, with that information readily available for anybody with an internet connection to gain access to. Its a common misconception that passwords and privacy rules associated with social network sites will keep your private activity confidential. This is hardly the case.

Did you know that by posting user content to any part of a social networking site, you automatically grant the company to use, copy, publicly perform, display, reformat, translate and distribute that user content, worldwide…. Scary stuff to think about when you consider the millions of people logging on to these sites and sharing personal details amongst each other.

These new breeds of networking sites are a dream come true for identity fraudsters. More than 85% of Facebook and Myspace account users have their names, addresses, phone numbers, contacts and employment details displayed within their personal profiles. For criminals this information can be gathered and used to purchase goods online, take out loans and credit card accounts, obtain medical and insurance records, access personal banking and superannuation funds and a whole range of other criminal activity all under your name, most likely while you are totally oblivious to it all.

Did you ever think about how your personal information may affect your professional life? Sure you might seem perfect to a potential employer from the outside, but a quick check to your Facebook page and everything is put into perspective. Think how offensive photographs, racist, bias or crude comments might impact upon your career. Absence from work or school can also be monitored through these sites for those stupid enough to reveal secrets online. Even law enforcement services may search for evidence through your past material.

It might reassure you when signing up to any social networking site, that you agree to a privacy statement, limiting the access of others to all your precious information. But the sites operators and owners are not all keeping these promises. Major corporations and companies are partnered and sponsors of these sites, in exchange for millions of users information. Your information. Displaying your favourite movie titles, tv shows, music, magazines, fashion labels and food brands on your profile is used directly for market research purposes. These businesses are able to adapt and introduce the latest trends thanks to the millions of users demographic information.

Think deleting this information will wipe it clean from the big bad internet world? Not likely. It has been found that deleted materials – all information, comments, photographs and video will stay available on the internet for over 30 days from the time you attempted to wipe it clean.

Tips to prevent:

• Be very careful as to what you decide to share online.
• Never share / store personal details, passwords and sensitive information online. Make sure your network of friends do not share this material either.
• Know your rights: read the site’s privacy policy and terms and conditions before signing up to anything.
• Use the privacy tools on the site – control access to your search listing and profile.
• Never accept or sign up for any type of deal / prize / award on these sights, they are likely to be viruses.
• Only interact with people online that are known to yourself. Do not accept invitations or friend requests from strangers.
• Make sure your anti-virus software is up-to-date.
• Never check personal information such as bank details, whilst logged into a social networking site.
• Always ensure you log out of the site when you are finished and even close down your web browser to maximise risk of an intrusion.

MOBILE PHONE PRIVACY

An innovation that has impacted upon us significantly, mobile phones have been integrated into our day-to-day lives. It is difficult to think when we did not have them, and anybody today without one would be seen as a social outcast. Technological advancements and trends such as the Apple iPhone has only cemented further the popularity and reliability we have with mobile phones. It is yet another source of personal privacy violation.

Phone tapping is a common method of accessing mobile phone information. The internet provides a very wide source of illegal phone tapping software, able to be downloaded and installed on a home computer. Connecting a phone to the computer and install the piracy programs enables the tapper to listen in on phone calls, read text messages, view stored information and multimedia and even track a targets position through GPS, anytime and anywhere, without them ever knowing. This type of technology has created more and easier ways for phone privacy to be breached. A dangerous katayst for types such stalkers, pedophiles and criminals.

A persons mobile phone is also home to a wealth of other personal information such as bank account details, personal information and confidential records and files. Without proper security measures in place, a stray or stolen phone is easily able to be hacked and access these files. Recent model phones such as the iPhone and Blackberry’s marketed as the ultimate personal phone / organiser, some phones even featuring menu titles for online banking.

With the latest and greatest phones being released every few months, the demand for having these high end models is increased, with many peoples older phones being offered for sale, privately and online – eBay. However most phone sellers would not think twice about erasing all data on their phone before shipping it off to the buyer. Just another chance for someone to have all your data at their fingertips.

Some mobile phones are even fitted with hidden tracking devices. Employers are usually the main users of these technologies, providing the phones to workers free of charge, unaware that their position, movements and even speed can be monitored wirelessly by their boss. The tracker may see this as an instrument to monitor truancy, work activity and performance, but for the target it is trespassing personal privacy, not to mention highly illegal.

They may seem like the ultimate lifestyle accessory but in the wrong hands mobile phones can be a weapon to intrude and uncover any amount of personal material that users willingly store in it.

Warning signs that your phone may be tapped / hacked:

• Phone battery is warm even when your phone has not been used.
• Mobile lights up at unexpected times, even when not in use.
• Unexpected beep or click during phone conversation.
• Unusual background noise or delay during conversation.
• Decreased battery life.
• Random unresponsive / sluggish performance of applications.

Tips to prevent:

• Never keep any type of serious personal information stored on your mobile phone, eg – PIN number, bank details, passwords, insurance / medical records or confidential files.
• Never check personal information online, eg – online banking
• Always keep a close eye on your phone so that others never get an opportunity to download spyware when you’re not around.
• Avoid synching your mobile with a personal computer, as this provides more risk for both devices being hacked.
• Avoid downloading or installing any programs / features you are unaware of.
• Make sure to log out of mobile internet services and switch off all wireless connectivity services such as Bluetooth.
• Install a security password on your phone to restrict anyone else using it.
• If you are not using your phone switch it off and take out the battery.
• Use an older model phone if possible, as higher end phones with internet connectivity are at increased risk of being tapped or hacked.
• If you are selling or giving away your phone, make sure to completely erase al memory and take out the sim card before disposing of the phone.

Threat to Mail Security

Mail has long been the common method of receiving information from family, friends, business and organisations that we have dealings with. It offers tangible artifacts that we can keep and often are viewed as very personal. It’s something we become attached to, a message just for us. This is true, because often letters carry very private and sensitive information about us, our lives and that of other people. Yet we prove at most times too trusting believing there is no use of our mail for others. Therefore we often do not give thought as to how we can secure our mail.

 

However, to fraudulent criminals your information contained in letters  may be as good as gold. It carries all that is needed to steal your identity and raid your accounts or conduct criminal activity in your name. Leaving you a lengthy and tiring process of clearing your name and restoring your credit ratings.

 

It is important that you keep your mailbox locked or secure so that only you have access to it. Many fraudster’s steal mail from personal letterboxes, doing so haphazardly so that you do not notice, and over time are able to present a very detailed account of who you are and may develop fake identities in your name.

 

Others fill out a change of address form and redirect your mail to another location where they can access your mail and acquire your personal information. If you feel you haven’t received certain letters from banks and other organisations it may mean your mail has been compromised.

 

In general it is important to keep all your sensitive letters in a safe place at home where only you have access to, especially if you are sharing a home with others. When discarding old letters, make sure you shred them so that your personal details cannot be discovered. Some criminals raid garbage bins in search of your private information which they can use.

 

What to do/ Quick tips

• Secure your mail box. Make sure you have a secure lockable letterbox and that you only post mail at secure, official post boxes. Make sure your letterbox is large enough for the quantity and size of your usual size of your regular mail. 

• Quickly remove the mail from your mailbox after it is delivered. If your going away, have the mail held at the post office until you arrive.

• Check to see that you have received all expected bills and statements, know when accounts are due, and thoroughly review them as soon as they arrive checking for unauthorised transactions and unexpected bills.

• Sign all credit and debit cards as soon as you receive them.

• If you move house, immediately tell your bank, card issuer and other organisations that you deal with.

• Remove your name from mailing lists. If you have received unsolicited mail from people who you do not have any dealings with, or pre-approved credit cards you did not apply for do not just throw them into the rubbish. Contact the company and ask that your name be removed from any further mailing lists. they will be obligated to do so.

• Secure your personal information at home in lockable filing cabinet or safe, especially if you have maintenance or cleaning conducted around your house by other individuals. Do not leave them lying around your house or in your glove box. Never lend personal document to others. Once they are out of your control you never know how they will be used.

 

 

The Threats to Email Security

In today’s interconectd and networked world email has arisen as one of the most critical applications in use by businesses large and small as well as by individuals for personal use. It has become the primary method of communication between businesses, banks, financial institutions and their customers as well as an ever growing internal communication method between managers employees and customers within the organisation. It is also a primary means of communication among individuals, particularly in that of freindships and families seperated by distance.

 

Driven by its extremely low variable cost, ease of use and the fact that SMTP standard has made email interoperable around the globe email has become the default files transfer mechanism and communication tool among orgnisations and businesses. In fact four out of five use email for critical activities like transmitting and accepting proposals, finalizing agreements and transmitting business critical records of all sorts.

 

Unfortunately though, email is also one of the most vulnerable pieces of infrastructure on the networked world. Before the advent of email scammers had to invest a hug amount of time and money to each potential victim individually whether it were by post, fax, telephone or direct contact. Today, however email has allowed for anonymity, convenience and the capability to reach thousands of potential victims all at once. Thus only a few people need be tricked in order to make a generous return and have the ruse pay-off.

 

Email can also pose a security risk to companies that send their confidential information via the internet. Most of such files would have their data encrypted, yet cyber criminals are always coming up with new ways to capture and access such information. The best protection would be to keep updating such encryption services and educating staff and employees of the risks involved.

 

The Threat

There are a variety of tactics used by fraudster and scammers via the email that can lead to breaches of personal security and identity fraud. The scams attempted via email, run from old fashion bait and switch operations to phising schemes involving the use of false emails and bogus websites and popups that seek to illicit personal and sensitive information which can then be used to steal your identity. Others will just direct you to a website with malicious programs and scripts which search your computer and gather personnel information that can be sent over the web to the scammer. Other scams will try to persuade you to deposit an amount of cash into an account, promising a greater return in the future. To comabat these scams the first step is to understand what they are, what they look like, how they work and what you can do to avoid them altogether.

 

The aim of such unsolicited emails is to gather your personal information for fraudulent and criminal purposes, such as stealing your identity and running up large purchases and bills or to conduct criminal activity. Others will use your computer to launch attacks on other unsuspecting people and organisations, thus hiding their identity. This can result in a criminal record, bad debt and a terrible credit rating on the victims names, which can take years to clear and settle.

 

The Scams

Nigerian/419 

These scams are usually quite elaborate and often call for an immediate and urgent response. These are usually conducted by con artists who claim to be business people, officials or spouses of former government regimes within another country who have a large sum of money tied up and are requesting your help to recover these funds in return for a share of it. They will ask for a transfer of funds to their account for various fees and will almost certainly delay payments citing various emergencies, which unsurprisingly will requiring more of your money. They may also produce documents that look official to convince you of their story. In the end though there aren’t any profits and the con artist will cut off all communication and vanish. Some cases have even resulted in people being beaten, subject to threats and extortion and even murder. Most of these scams have been conducted by Nigerian Citizens although numerous neighbouring countries have also had been reported. Thus the name originating from the section of the Nigerian Penal Code that adresses this means of fraud “419″.

 

Phishing

Phishing emails claim to be from a business or organisation you have dealings with, such as a bank, government agency, an online payment service or an internet service provider. But actually they are really carefully crafted fakes that seek to illicit sensitive and private information such as your date of birth, address, bank account and credit card details or your social security number, all the information they need to steal your identity and raid all your accounts. The message will ask you to “update”, “validate” or “confirm” your account information or face dire consequences. Usually they will request you to click a link included in the email and complete the online form. The link may sometimes lead you to a website that will download a program that logs your keys and sends it back to the scammer.

 

Check Overpayment Scams

A response to your ad or online auction posting is received, with an offer to pay with the cashier’s, personal, or corporate check. At the last minute the so called buyer will come up with a reason to write the check for more than the purchase price requesting you wire back the the difference after you deposit the check. Typically the check will be a counterfeit but are usually hard to distinguish and therefore are processed by the bank tellers, therefore increasing the balance in your account. All seeming right you wire back the difference, only to find out days later that the check bounces and you’re left responsible for the whole account. Thus, not only has the scammer gotten his purchase but also received a generous some for his purchase.

 

Virus and Trojan Horse Emails

These Emails exploit people’s curiosity by promising something off interest in the attachment. Once the attachment is open it may download malicious software that can turn your computer into a bot, create a security vulnerability on your computer, monitor your online transactions, allow an attacker to access your files or log your keys so that they can ferret out your passwords. Sometimes it may even download or lead your browser to inappropriate content at its own will. These emails sometimes employ the accounts of those you know to send you the malicious software and further distribute the virus. The virus would spread by searching all the addresses on an infected computer and then sending themselves to these adresses. So that even familiar “from” address, such as friends emails, does not ensure safety. If in doubt regards an email verify it with your friend before opening any attachments.

 

Bogus Business Opportunities

These scams are mostly regarded as spam and deleted without consideration, but some prove to be quite convincing and effective. The scams promise of the opportunity to make a great deal of money with very little effort. They’re usually full of enticement such as “be your own boss”, “work from home”, “get rich quick”. But they rarely provide any information on the job and responsibilities and will require you to make a payment for an information scheme. There may as well be hidden fees, contributions and purchases needed to make to be able to partake of the scheme. Once you’ve made the payment the promoters usually refuse to pay, claiming your work isn’t up to their standards.

 

Health and Diet Scams

Emails claiming fast and effective relief of ailments or medical breakthroughs and cures are most likely too good to be true and they are. These emails prey on the insecurities some people have as regards their health and state of well being, in particularly when these people feel embarrassed to talk about their problems with their doctors. The scams lure consumers with the promise of quick fixes or cures with amazing results, discount pricing, fast delivery, discreet packaging and sometimes the backing of customer and doctor testimonials. These products more than likely prove to be duds and have no effect at all.

 

Quick Tips

Although you cannot perhaps be 100% sure that you will not be a victim of a scam, fraud or identity theft, you can lower the chances of doing so by following the simple tips below.

• Never reply to an email or pop-up message that is asking for personal and sensitive information. Legitimate companies will not ask for this information via email. The safest course of action is to contact the company directly either by a legitimate number from the phone directory or by visiting the official website (do not use the link contained in the email). If you discern it is a fake, send the email to the company concerned specifying that.

(for more info check out the how to discern a legitimate email from a fake section).

• Never send your personal information such as bank and credit numbers, pins, social security numbers etc. via email, as email is not a secure connection and can lead to your details being exposed. As a general rule never give any personal information over the phone, email or any other means without knowing who you are dealing with. If you do need to provide such information only provide the bare minimum and always ask why such information is needed and how long it will be kept for.

• Never click on links or hyperlinks within an email message, nor copy the links into the address bar. Type in the legitimate web address yourself that you know to be correct.

• Treat email attachments with caution even those that claim to be sent from friends or those you know. If unsure verify with your friend if they had sent you that particular email and attachment.

• Never reply to unsolicited email requesting you be taken off their mailing list. That just confirms your email address works and that you exist. Simply delete the email and remove it and any attachments from your computer.

• Don’t trust unsolicited email. If it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

• Install a personal firewall and antivirus software and keep them up to date.

 

How To Recognise A Fake Email

• Look for loose and poor spelling or grammar that is not characteristic of the company your dealing with. Incomplete sentences and missing punctuation are a clear give away.

• Be wary of the information requested, a bank or legitimate organisation will not ask for your personal information over email.

• Look for stretched or pixelated logos or marks that seem to be unofficial and fake.

• Google the email reference (from address) to see if it listed as a scammer’s. 

• Check the email reference to see if it were coming from a legitimate company’s address.

• Place your cursor over any links to reveal the real site address.

Either way you should not respond to any company requesting personal information over email. Use your discretion, if the facts aren’t matching up it most likely is a fake email and a fraud.

 

 

New words for report

Computer safety

Privacy is an abstract ideal created by humans to protect the things we keep as an individual, once a herd animal we are now becoming increasingly separated by technology. This is allowing for a new wave of breaches on valuable information, which can have detrimental effects on our lives, which have been over-run with the use of things we couldn’t live without, like computers, mobile phones and ATM machines. While new technologies allow for greater connection between people all over the world, and offer a clearer sense of safety when doing things like banking, it also means that the average consumer is very lax with their personal details. The problem exists with the constant flow of information between all the devices we own, whether that be bluetooth and banking from your phone, or email and wireless internet networks. The truth is we are exposing a lot more “weak points” in our once safe computer and network systems.
This Guide is designed to not only educate, but to keep you up to date on how to keep your information safe

ATM security and Banking
One of the most published and well know of the modern security fraud and breaches, ATM’s have been targeted extensively by criminals. As automatic teller machines have become a common part of our lifestyle, we pay little attention when using them. Criminals have recognised this and developed simple, yet effective ways of “scanning” the information on the magnetic strip of your credit of bank card. One common process is the use of “card scanners” which are attached to the card slot on your average ATM machine, they are usually very well camouflaged and scan your card as it runs through to the real teller machine. Your pin number is the key to the success of these kinds of criminal activities, without it, the information stored on your card is useless. The criminals can acquire your pin through a number of different ways, in some instances a camera is installed in the side of the card skimmer and it also records your pin number on video, they can also steal your pin through replacing the entire keypad so it records the numbers you type.

But how can you stay protected from criminals like this?
We have provided you with a set of up to date tips on how to spot ATM scanners and how to help keep yourself safe. A lot of staying safe is common sense with a mix of being alert and educated to know what to look for. Checking an ATM briefly before use should become part of your routine, it only takes a minute and could protect you from losing a lot of money down the track.

There are a few simple and very straight forward rules and tips when approaching an ATM and what to look for.

1. Always have a look at the card reader, the card reader being the place where you insert your bank card. The most common way that criminals skim cards is to attach a device to the outside of the card reader. If anything looks slightly bulky or and addition to the ATM machine, do not use this machine. Most ATM machines will also have a flickering light where you insert the card, if this isn’t apparent or visible, it may be hooked up with a card skimmer.

2. One of the ways to remain the safest is to solely use your own banks ATM’s, to become familiar with how they look and work, therefore it will be almost impossible to be caught out by ATM fraud. If you desperately need to use another ATM remember to be cautious.

3. Including card skimmers, criminals also use cameras installed in and around the ATM to capture your pin code. This is because the information on the magnetic strip on the back of your card is useless without your pin code. This understood the most important thing to do whilst using an ATM is to cover your pin code when you are inserting it.

4. If any of the signage on the machine appears covered by the build of the ATM or their are any strange additions to the machine, like pamphlet holders, these may be cameras installed to catch your Pin number. Inspect any oddities before use.

5. Remember if you are at all uncertain about using an ATM or believe there is some sort of scanner attached, call your bank or our hotline immediately. We can contact the bank immediately and send out a representative.

Computer Safety
Whether you are using a PC or a Mac it is important you set up your computer so that it is secure and safe from viruses, and intruders keen on mining your personal information and data for their own personal uses. With the advent of High speed internet connections, it is easier than ever for intruders to break into your home personal computer for your informations or its hard disk resources. This is why it is important to be educated on how to first set up your computer so it is safe from attacks such as this, and also how to remain vigilant against future attacks.

The first step in creating a strongley protected PC is to launch a firewall, a firewall set-up usually comes with most computers bought, but it is probably more beneficial to buy your own. A firewall is design to block intruders from breaking into your computer from the internet. If you are running a network in your home or office, and have many computers operating under the same internet connection, install the firewall on the master computer. You only need a firewall if your home computer is connected to the internet.

The second step is to buy and to install anti-virus software, although the top companies are not always the best, as they take alot of virtual space up on your computer and while they provide good protection, they themselves can also act like spyware. They are often overstuffed and underpowered, so purchased a 3rd or 4th ranking program, they are just as good quality if not better because they strive for more customers. And remember anti-virus software cant work unless it is actually turned on, so keep your anti-virus software running all the time.

The third is to regularly run spyware search software, if running a PC make sure you run it when you have started the computer in safe mode, as this will catch more trojans and data miners.

Be carefule what external mail server you use to gather and read your mail. These external mail servers like thunderbird and outlook express can open mail with “view preview” without suspecting that they are full of viruses, and in turn pass that virus directly from the email to your computer.

Stop using cookies. Although these are integral to the use of some particular sites, they are out of control, if you visit a site and accept cookies from it, that particular site can track your movements around the web to each and every site you go to. Alot of the time this is just to target particular advertising towards you. Your privacy is vaulable, dont sell it for nothing to these websites, if you need to use a website and tells you you need to switch on cookies, make an exception for that particular website in your internet browser preferences.

This is a rough, so it can change. Feel free to comment and amend it.

I will sketch up roughly the number of slides and what each will say and post it tomorrow. But I think the number shouldn’t be a problem. We’ll need each just to communicate the message. We will need photos of people and their hands, eyes, faces, fingers – that which makes us human. Thinking close shots to personalise it. Focus on people/individuals rather than technology. 

Blake, maybe you can do layout for the report, since we know what we will be doing for the presentation. It will follow a similar approach I guess.

Cheers  :-)

Let’s Go Phishing!

 

With email being one of the most dependant communications we have among corporations and business to consumer relations, cyber criminals are increasingly targeting this avenue to phish out valuable and private information that will allow identity theft to occur. There is an increasing number of emails being sent that try to harvest private and personal information by posing as banks or organisations. Sometimes these emails divert you to another website that mimmicks the real website and illicits your account information, credit card details and social security numbers; basically anything that could allow them to steal your identity and commit crimes through it. OnGaurd Online have developed a game that tests your skills and seeks to educate the public as how to identify these spoofing websites.

You can view the game here: Phishing Scams
