Internet International Warning, Abney Associates Review: Scam varning som til... - 1 views

  •  
    En välbekant bluff har återuppstått i Washington Parish, och en Bogalusa bosatt är varning människor inte att falla för den. Jimmy Underwood sade han nyligen fick ett samtal från en person med utländsk brytning, som berättade för honom hade han vunnit $2,5 miljoner och att någon skulle komma från Lafayette på eftermiddagen att presentera honom med sina vinster. Dock Underwood var misstänksam och "typ av tänkte att det var en bluff rätt utanför bat," han låter anroparen fortsätta. Underwood gavs ett spårningsnummer, tillgång kodnummer och säkerhet kodnummer och tillsagd att gå till en butik för att få en grön Dot MoneyPack kort och lägga till $1.000 i den. Uppringaren sa utmärkelsen $2,5 miljoner var juridiska, hade godkänts av den federala regeringen, och att alla skatter hade tagits. Han försett Underwood med ett telefonnummer och berättade för honom att kalla det och be om Jimmy White efter han hade kortet. Underwood var nära en Walgreens, så han gick in och ifyllt manager på telefonsamtalet. Chefen sa att det var en bluff, att den som ringt var sannolikt från Jamaica, och att någon annan hade kommit att rapportera samma sak. Ungefär 10 minuter senare ringde ringer Underwood igen, frågar varför han inte hade kallas tillbaka. Underwood sa till honom att det var en bluff och att det inte var berättigat. Anroparen försäkrade honom var det inte ett skämt, men Underwood berättade för honom att ge pengar till någon annan. Jag sa, "Om jag vann pengar, hur kommer jag behöva betala $1,000?" " Underwood fick veta att han inte skulle verkligen att lägga några pengar, eftersom han skulle få $1000 tillbaka i form av ett presentkort.

abney and associates warning, avoid internet scams | 'Computer security is an abstract... - 1 views

    "We are forever trying to train people to have healthier lifestyles: eat better, exercise more, whatever," Schneier writes in a wonderfully entertaining blog post. "And people are forever ignoring the lessons. One basic reason is psychological: we just aren't very good at trading off immediate gratification for long-term benefit. A healthier you is an abstract eventually; sitting in front of the television all afternoon with a McDonald's Super Monster Meal sounds really good right now." "Similarly, computer security is an abstract benefit that gets in the way of enjoying the internet. Good practices might protect me from a theoretical attack at some time in the future, but they're a lot of bother right now and I have more fun things to think about. This is the same trick Facebook uses to get people to give away their privacy; no one reads through new privacy policies; it's much easier to just click "OK" and start chatting with your friends. In short: security is never salient." Schneier expands his ideas by looking at areas where awareness training or education initiatives work (driving, HIV prevention) and where they fail (training the general public to wash their hands, make drug decisions at a pharmacy, food safety). He summarises the obstacles in the path of effective security training. "The threats change constantly, the likelihood of failure is low, and there is enough complexity that it's hard for people to understand how to connect their behavior to eventual outcomes. So they turn to folk remedies that, while simple, don't really address the threats. "We should stop trying to teach expertise, and pick a few simple metaphors of security and train people to make decisions using those metaphors," Schneier concludes, adding that another problem is that "computer security is often only as strong as the weakest link".
