Work shop:Email security

[saharika]

This is not to incourage any body to hack other password or for any evil purpose .The one and only intention is to make people aware of the growing email threats well i know how does it feel like to lose your privacy data and other things.So just for info.I would not be help responsible for any wrong use of the info.
Any way even venom can save life if it is used with wisdom but if it is misused then it can be deadly than any thing.
Well i think You got what i mean .
Any way i sincerly request all not to make any evil use of it.Please
So with the growing use of email ,password of email (especially web) has been like credit cards.Well the people who know more (well after sitting infront of computer for years for 8 hours a day) are trying to invent newer and newer methods to get other password
So i think it will be wise to be informed and make others informed so that some harm can be reduced.Well i think its all upto how much the user know computer and how advanced is the hacker(who tries it)
so thier definately is not any rules but these may be just info for precaution
The most used hacking technique i have seen is installing keylogger.Its all upto how believable your administrator is,the cyber cafe owner in the corner is or your parents are.
The probable solution may be when you press your passwood first press some other key and in between your password then selecting the words from back and front the unnecessary ones then press delete once
But some keylogger can detect this as well but works most time while some key blogger doesnot detect del .The thing is one never know how many char were deleted.
The best solution is dont log in the network or the place which you think is not safe.
2.The another way which i find working with my new internet user is the installation of fake web site that resembles the big actual web(i have seen yah..hot..)in web in look.But most either hide address bar or new user just ignore it .Usually it starts with chat then some photos or some proposal then link then user just enter is password thinking that the open link is real web.
Its actually is not the real web but the hackers form similar to login of real web mail website
Solution may be be careful
Well i have heard that even when we press www.yahoo.com setting can be made in local computer to bring out fake web
but it again comes upto administrator cafe owner or local computer
Beside i have heard that people do it from cookie in computer or sending web site robots with some tricks
i think lost password is not a hacking technique well much luck needed and depends on user
after all not keeping the guessable paswword like fav actor phone number may help
Beside i have seen people being fool and give their password in some unreal offers say download movie for 50 cent get this access free....
And many people lose thier password while trying to get other's password
So i think i will Stop it now.
My literate frens may know better than me .So please drop some pitfalls that may come in our way and the lsoution to it(probable)
but please donot narrate the step how to get password
after all this has been written to help people and to me as well to be safe from this pitfalls not to teach how to hack
So i definately think that there are lot more administrator computer literate,security persons kind and generous who donot hesitate to share info.
So i look forward for continuation of the message.
So remember to drop the tricks you have heard and precaution measures
remember not the way but the things.
Password security is going to be the major problem in the coming century.So act now.

On the internet if something looks really good it usually isn't you never win the lottery and receive and email about it....never be tempted to help the Nigerian Finance Minister store money.

These are simple e-mail scams that get your details.

I have not seen much of the mentioned "Fake" website's, but if you open a site and your browser window changes ask yourself why.

Being an IT Network Manager, i try to train users to look out for these things, regurlaly reading emails about new viruses helps.

If only people knew the amount of spyware in programs like Kazaa.

Only purchase items if you can see two things. 1. "HTTPS" and also look for the Padlock icon in the cornrer. Both symbolizing the transition is safe.

Firewalls, Virus Scanners, and the latest patches will really minimize the risks.

Also, some website's ask you to download and run things maybe to view there site, do not do this unless it is a site you know to be truely safe like Microsoft.com this is how so many people end up with so many Premium Rate Diallers.

Viruses can also be downloaded just by opening a webpage or an email, make sure your virus scanners work.

Really it is all common sense, you don't walk down a dark alley waving your money around..just the same you don't walk around the internet unprotected from people prying at your data.

Easiest way to stay off the internet...but where's the fun in that :D
