Free Solutions for Better E-mail Communication
	When it comes to sending e-mails, probably one of the most important things is making sure that the content is secure. Sure, some users sending friendly e-mails regarding non-important things can afford not to encrypt their e-mails, but when it comes to companies, one needs to make sure data does not leak; otherwise, the business could be compromised. Now, this is where Kryptiva comes in – the security company is offering a free solution t ... [read more >>]

US Security: NSA Hacks. DHS Spams!
	Recent reports point out that the United States National Security Agency will get back at any hacker trying to mess up their systems. Also, it is a known fact that they hack their way into different communication networks to wiretap – they’re just monitoring any possible terrorist conversation. Now, these are just security measures, and though the second is violating privacy, they can’t be called something bad. However, things ... [read more >>]

Worst Security Threat: Your E-mail!
	Having the latest security programs doesn’t seem to help much. One of the biggest threats to your security is your own hand, so to say…well, I’m actually talking about your e-mail. Maybe you think that I’m paranoid, but I bet you won’t say the same after reading this article! Based on the fact that hackers can do just about anything if they have the right skills/tools for it and exploit the right flaw or use the right tactics ... [read more >>]

Beware of Jobs You Find on the Internet!
	You need to be weary of jobs you can find on the web. And when I say this I’m referring to jobs you can get by e-mail. There are two types of job offers you can get in your inbox – the ones from legitimate websites to which you have subscribed (those are OK) and the spammy ones (which you should be careful about). So, if you’ve subscribed to some job finding website and you get mails from their bot –it’s safe, but when talking ab ... [read more >>]

“Microsoft Error” Gets People Hacked
	Some of us, the normal users, know what e-mails to dodge and when to be cautious about hackers. But some people can’t help it – they’re compelled to open certain e-mails, as it's in the nature of their workplace. And hackers have noticed this, and now they’re exploiting it! Anybody that has a high position in a company and receives an e-mail with the firm’s name in the subject line cannot ignore it, that’s for sure! Most of ... [read more >>]

Is Your E-mail Secure?
	This is just like the Dark Ages! You can’t send an important message anymore, because you run the risk of having it intercepted and sensitive info being leaked. Remember those movies where the King wanted to send a message to some other royalty, but before it left the castle it was encrypted by some weird old monk? Well, it’s the same thing these days, only instead of using pigeons or fast riders to transmit messages people use t ... [read more >>]

Data Leaks Good For Something!
	As you may already know, there are two types of hackers – the ones that do it for a good cause, and by that I mean disclosing vulnerabilities and reporting them to the ones that have them, and then there are the evil ones that hack for their own inscrutable purposes. Of course, data breaches are usually due to attacks from the second category. I would have never thought that anything good could come out of these activities, but i ... [read more >>]

Chinese E-Cards Just Like Fortune Cookies
	In this case, you just might get yourself a nasty virus. Chinese authorities have announced that users should be wary of downloading virus-infected mooncake greeting cards as Reuters informs. Hackers just might take advantage of the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival. This thing has happened last year too, on the same occasion. And this is certainly something that only happens in China. No way! Hackers take advantage of any possible situation ... [read more >>]

E-mail-borne-phone-based-scam… What The … ?
	I’ve just heard of a new type of scam that involves spam e-mails as well as telephones. It’s a bit bizarre and I have no idea how efficient it is, but it’s bound to work better than PDF spam-scam. So here’s how things go: the spammer sends a lot of messages including a telephone number. If the receiver should call that number, surprise, surprise, it’s a premium call, so instead of paying standard per minute, he is charged with lo ... [read more >>]

84-Year-Old Still Uses Internet and Gets Scammed Too
	It’s one thing to outsmart an elder, but to do that and gain profit of it, well, that’s illegal. This is the case of Toluwalade Alonge Owolabi which scammed an 84-year-old via the Internet – he has been caught by the Police and charged with fraud. It all happened in Canada and not in Africa, as you would expect after reading the culprit’s name. But it has something to do with the Black Continent – Owolabi, 36, living in Toront ...

Malware Free Attachments
	You can still get a lot of viruses from the web and many are e-mail-borne, but things have changed. Now, attachments are rarely infected – things are starting to work differently. To get a virus nowadays you have to click certain links, so the virus is web-based but you get news of it through spam. It's a mixture of both, still very dangerous, but at least malware infected attachments are a thing of the past. And here ... [read more >>]

The “Viagra Zombie” Campaign
	I've decided to call this the "Viagra Zombie" campaign because it involves... well... Viagra and zombies. Now, don't get excited, the blue pill won't transform you into anything hideous or stuff like that, I'm talking about spam-zombies here! Perhaps you know about the Viagra spam – all those unwanted messages about the way you can get the pill a lot cheaper and that sort of thing. You've pro ... [read more >>]

Spam Takes E-Mails Down!
	I've seen spam having some pretty serious effects until now. From getting people infected with viruses (and later scammed) even to death. But never until now have I heard of e-mail accounts going down because of spam. Telecommunication firm Onetel had serious problems after a huge spam wave hit the Inboxes. 30.000 of the company's e-mail customers have been unable to send or receive emails properly for more than a m ...

From a Far Away Galaxy Here Comes... 3D Spam!
	You know spam, it's been your "friend" for years, everyday, just clogging your Inbox and sometimes getting you annoyed. And you already know, it's been through a lot of changes – at first there was just text spam, then the spam filter came and spam got better, inserting images, then there was a better filter, and spammers used PDF files but those were inefficient, so now, image spam has returned and it's ...

Scam or Die!
	COLORADO SPRINGS – A woman has reported to the Police that she received an e-mail in which the sender threatened her life. The sender was pretending to be a hitman that was hired to off her. Of course, the woman panicked and said that she was really scared. I think this is just the normal reaction when someone threatens your life. In any case, as the message read, the assassin said that he had been stalking her for the last tw ... [read more >>]

Embassies Have Low Security
	You may think embassies, playing such an important role in relationships between countries, would have tight security measures installed. To be honest, I thought so myself, but apparently I was wrong. The information that leaked from the embassies is rather crucial, because it can seriously compromise the relations between two or more countries, if fully exploited. Usernames and passwords for more than 100 e-mail accounts at e ... [read more >>]

The IRS Scam
	This is a recent one. It seems that the "IRS" rips off people – what do you mean you already knew that? No, I don't mean the real IRS, I mean hackers pretending to be The Internal Revenue Service! So what is actually happening is that some malicious users are sending a lot of spam messages to many users, telling them that they can get 80 bucks if they fill out some web-based survey. I got this information from Poug ... [read more >>]

Scam Others on the Internet, It's Cool!
	So many scam e-mails, lately, that I'm starting to think this might be some new fashion trend or something. Hackers use all sorts of high-profile company names in order to trick users into clicking on links and then have their data phished. Of course, I was just being a bit ironic in the title, do not scam people on the Internet, or it will lead to serious consequences. I am going to present here a standard scam message: ...

E-mail Clients Blamed For Infections
	As usual, hackers have just found an even better and more elusive way of infecting one's computer. As it has been earlier stated, there has been a spam outburst lately, a big part of the messages being trojan infested. Neither spam nor trojans are new stuff to security software developers, but recently, cyber-criminals thought of a way to outfox e-mail clients by using one of their strengths.
