Posted on June 30, 2009
Abstract – The flight of funds from bank accounts, online banking is growing. One cause is infection by viruses and trojans through social networks like Twitter and Facebook. The popularity of these types of sites people are open to all types of viruses that have not previously exposed. Years ago, people have learned to not open files in e-mails, if they are not really sure that the sender was and what in the file. Started in addition to the messaging services of the freest, downloaded to detect viruses in files and incoming files, which really reduces the simple transmission of bulk virus. Banks tend to compensate customers for losses from online banking because of piracy, but you can always get a complaint, and the repayment problem. Goals – As a rule, hackers go after the conclusion of companies that have a reasonable amount of money and lots of activity. The goal is to provide an e-mail very interesting and especially for the recipient, so that it opens the header (e-mail subject) and then the person to click on a link. The click will install a virus or trojan on your computer. Then you take screenshots, install a keystroke logger, password files get time password or other important data. Another possibility for you to do to the software poorly designed Web sites to install to install such software.
Protection against hackers account –
1. Do not use the Windows computer to access to bank accounts, passwords or bank to save. These systems are the most popular device that wants to build the lion’s share of the development of hacker tools by hackers. The target group is the largest with a Windows computer. With Linux or Mac. The systems are secured. Before an application (malware) think can work, you must enter your consent in the form of a password in a popup window, you will be informed about trying to run newly installed software. This means that software you can have a bad seat in the team stupid click on a link and so bad, and the software can not hurt, not because the team let the run. This applies to both Mac and Linux, and perhaps some of the latest versions of Windows, but never trust Windows for anything. All this you will receive spam from botnets, which are the result of vulnerabilities in Windows that spammers can easily install malicious software on the computers of clients and take them on the bottom and send spam to be sent, do DDoS attacks, etc. Thanks to Windows. My feeling is that over 95% of piracy on Windows. You can format a Windows computer, the hard drive and install Linux, which requires purchase like a Mac, very simple, free or cheap work, less memory and resources, more stable, more resistant to (not even a comparison of crack) and generally provides an enjoyable experience. Just your local computer shop to do the installation for you. Most of these programs you are using a version of Linux or equivalent and will probably be free as a freeware replacement for Sun’s Systems Office Excel, Word, etc., are as good as Mac Linux just cost more. His team seems to be the best out there for the top teams. Linux and Mac are closely linked. It’s easier to go buy a Mac Barata and also a good response aimed Windows and Linux. Ant is not anti-virus and firewall anyway, even if Mac or Linux.
2. Use the dark markings of browsers and email programs. Do not use the popular browsers, especially if you are running Windows. Try Google Chrome, if you use Windows. Do not use popular email programs. With Web-based e-mail, or use a black spot. With a hidden mark being the target of hackers is very small and not lose too much time to develop such a program hoe.
3. Firewalls. Inability to obtain and use a software firewall. It is based application, since any application that tries to implement to get your permission to run. ) A new application (malware you can not do anything, because they can not operate without a license. The trick is to hackers to the firewall that I think use is a common program such as the updating of Word or something and click it. Be careful and read the instructions and if in doubt, only the right to refuse to run or connect to the Internet. Use a firewall out of the box, not the common brands. Read To respect the comments in the network firewall and on what they call the flight.
4. Wireless router. Great protection, but should be used in addition to the firewall. Always use stronger encryption, will never work without encryption. An encrypted wireless router with a firewall willing to give you much protection, a lot.
5. Antivirus programs are great and should be executed. Avoid dominant institutions, governments can not detect malware, not good. Use only open-source software. Try mussels. Open source code means that all the test and therefore no exception rules for the government software that disappointment is impossible. The products of open source is free and should be used whenever possible.
6. The Wi-Fi outside the home or office. This can be dangerous. There are many possibilities for an attack. With a VPN to provide encryption from a third party its own DNS service. This prevents DNS poisoning. The game hackers trying to get on a website which go like a popular bank, but the bank did not receive your site imitation and passwords when you access the site. The site says check back
