| Viruses & Internet Threats - how they attack and what you can do. |
Virus. Phishing. Spyware. Spam. Malware. Vulnerabilities. Cybercrime. Threats today have become more complicated. They tend to use multiple vectors to spread, thus increasing their chances of infection. Once on the system, these threats tend to show little to no symptoms so they can survive undetected.
|
What You Can Do: |
| |
|
 |
|
|
|
SECURE YOUR EMAIL  |
|
| |
BROWSE THE WEB SAFELY  |
PHISHING |
|
 |
Fraudulent websites are used to steal personal information |
|
|
Phishing attacks re-direct victims to a bogus Web site where malicious code is downloaded and used to collect sensitive information |
|
| |
|
|
SPYWARE |
|
|
Many "free" programs downloaded from the web install software that tracks your behavior and displays unwanted advertisements |
|
|
Some web pages will attempt to install spyware when you visit their page |
|
| |
|
|
VULNERABILITIES |
|
|
A vulnerability in the web browser may create a weakness in the computer security providing an opportunity for some websites to download malicious code |
|
|
| |
SAFEGUARD YOUR INSTANT MESSENGER  |
MALWARE |
|
|
IM attachments, just like email attachments, can carry destructive viruses, Trojan horses, and worms |
|
|
Some new worms use IM software to send themselves to every member of your buddy list |
|
| |
|
|
SPAM |
|
|
Some Spam can contain offensive language or links to Web sites with inappropriate content |
|
| |
|
|
VULNERABILITIES |
|
|
Most instant messages still travel unencrypted across the Internet, exposing private conversations to anyone who can find a way to listen in |
|
|
| |
FILE SHARING PROTECTION  |
MALWARE |
|
|
Malware may spread through common peer-to-peer file sharing applications by placing themselves in shared directories with enticing filenames |
|
|
Some Malware threats use peer-to-peer networks to communicate out from an infected system |
|
| |
|
|
SPYWARE |
|
|
Some adware may be bundled with some "free" versions of popular file-sharing programs |
|
| |
|
|
VULNERABILITIES |
|
|
Personal information can be extracted from open connections during peer-to-peer connections |
|
|
| |
CYBERCRIME  |
ONLINE FRAUD |
|
|
Phishing is essentially an online con game, and phishers are nothing more than tech-savvy con artists and identity thieves. They use spam, fake Web sites, crimeware and other techniques to trick people into divulging sensitive information, such as bank and credit card account details. |
|
|
Pharming (pronounced "farming") is another form of online fraud, very similar to its cousin phishing. Pharmers rely upon the same bogus Web sites and theft of confidential information to perpetrate online scams, but are more difficult to detect in many ways because they are not reliant upon the victim accepting a “bait” message. Instead of relying completely on users clicking on an enticing link in fake email messages, pharming instead re-directs victims to the bogus Web site even if they type the right Web address of their bank or other online service into their Web browser. |
|
| |
|
|
CRIMEWARE |
|
|
While spyware has occupied center stage of late, it is but one of the tools behind today's rash of cybercrime. Deceptive Trojan horses, multi-purpose bots, and spyware programs form the crimeware arsenal of today's hackers and are regularly bought and traded on the black market. The price tag of crimeware is often based on their ability to steal sensitive data such as bank and credit cards while remaining undetected by the victim. |
|
|
"Bot" is actually short for robot – not the kind found in science fiction movies or on the production line in a manufacturing business. Bots are one of the most sophisticated types of crimeware facing the Internet today. Bots are similar to worms and Trojans, but earn their unique name by performing a wide variety of automated tasks on behalf of their master (the cybercriminals) who are often safely located somewhere far across the Internet. |
|
|
Trojan Horse is a program that presents itself as a useful computer program, while it actually causes havoc and damage to your computer. Increasingly, Trojans are the first stage of an attack and their primary purpose is to stay hidden while downloading and installing a stronger threat such as a bot. Unlike viruses and worms, Trojan horses cannot spread by themselves. |
|
|
Spyware is a general term used for programs that covertly monitor your activity on your computer, gathering personal information, such as usernames, passwords, account numbers, files, and even driver’s license or social security numbers. |
