Technology Market / 3 Ways To Protect Yourself From Online Scams by Beetwo(m): 6:35pm On Aug 19, 2014
Abuja - Online fraud and identity theft is a growing problem. We
are all at risk - but we can also all protect ourselves against the
most common scams by following some simple rules.

1. Practice good password habits
We should all know this one: Don’t use the same password on
more than one site, don’t use passwords that are easy to crack
-- which includes any word from a dictionary -- and don’t tell
your password to anyone, ever.
That means you’ll have a lot of passwords that are difficult to
remember, so invest in password management software like
LastPass, Password Genie, Dashlane, KeePass, Norton Identity
Manager, 1Password or another well-reviewed product.

2. Understand that email is not safe
The easiest way to get your personal details is to trick you into
giving them away yourself. Scammers do this by using our trust
in familiar names against us. We’ve all had the experience of
getting an email that seems to be from our bank, or a friend, but
turns out to be a scam.
The truth is, it’s incredibly easy to copy a logo, fake an email
address and pretend to be someone else. Even at PayGate we
have to be on the lookout for scam artists who try to use our
logo and reputation to entice people to pay them money.
There are two main kinds of email to suspect.
The first is anything that looks like free money: SARS is giving
you a tax refund, a relative you never knew about has left you an
inheritance or your bank is about to refund your fees.
Unless you’re specifically expecting an email like this - for
example, if the lawyer has already contacted you by phone about
the inheritance -- it’s almost certainly a scam. If there are
spelling and grammar errors in the email, take that as extra
evidence.
If you get an email like this, don’t respond. If you think there’s
any chance a legitimate company is trying to get hold of you this
way, rather look up their phone number on your own -- don’t use
whatever is in the email -- and call them to check. Otherwise,
just delete it and forget about it.
The second kind of suspect email is the one that plays on your
fear: For example, your account has been compromised and you
must update your details immediately or face dire consequences.
This one is easy to spot if it’s from a bank you don’t use, but the
trap is all too easy to fall into if the email looks exactly as if it
comes from your bank.
The basic rule is simple: NEVER access your bank via a link,
whether it’s in an email or on a web page. If you do, NEVER enter
any account or password details into any web page you get
taken to.
If you’re genuinely worried, call the bank or provider directly; and
if you want to log in to your account, type the address directly
into the address bar in your browse.
Always check that you can see the “https” and lock symbol
which mean that your browser is using an encrypted connection
to the site you have entered. You should also be able to right
click and view the security certification.

3. Don’t call me, I’ll call you
Anybody who calls you claiming to be from your bank, from
Microsoft or from another big name, and who asks for personal
information, should be treated with extreme suspicion.
If it’s just your bank’s fraud division calling to check that you
really did mean to make that unusual purchase, they won’t ask
you for any personal details other than to confirm that one
specific purchase.
Never, under any circumstances, give your ID number, address or
bank account details to someone who has called you. And never,
ever do anything on your computer that a stranger asks you to.
If you genuinely want to do business with these people, put the
phone down, look their number up on your own and call back.
If you think there’s a legitimate reason for the caller to ask for
your details, there is still a way to protect yourself: Ask the caller
to give you the first six digits of your ID number, or your house
number, and you will tell them the rest.
If they are who they say they are, they should be able to view this
information. This process should be followed in all cases, even if
you think the call is legitimate.
Following these three good information hygiene habits, will
ensure that you won’t be an easy target. Always err on the

of caution: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Computers / Re: The Best VPN Service Providers, 2014 by Beetwo(m): 4:51pm On Jul 29, 2014
OwillyOscar: Private Encryption to Cloak Your Online Data Activity
Best VPN Service Providers
VPN speeds: expect your internet speed to be reduced by up to 75% while you are using your VPN. VPN speeds of 2 to 4 Mbps are common for cheaper VPN's. Speeds of 5 Mbps per second are very good. VPN speeds over 15 Mbps are excellent.


VPN encryption protocols: there are 3 common written code options for VPN's: PPTP, L2TP/IPsec and OpenVPN. But for most desktop users, OpenVPN is the strongest encryption and fastest data transfer. L2TP may be an even better option than OpenVPN in two special circumstances: you want to use multiple mobile devices on your VPN; or if you live in a country with highly stressful government rules on internet use (e.g. China). While not as fast as OpenVPN, L2TP is also very difficult for authorities to block, and it generally offers more assistance for mobile devices.
1. Witopia
Witopia is a well respected name in the VPN arena, notwithstanding that users do say that the software can be frustrating to install and configure. The speeds that you can expect on Witopia are also similar to other VPN's: in the range of 2 Mbps to 9 Mbps but anything above 5 Mbps is good, depending on your closeness to the Witopia servers. As added reassurances for those seeking to cloak your browsing and file sharing habits: Witopia promises never to disclose, scan,record or sell logs of your information. Witopia comes recommended by several readers who do serious file sharing, so if you're tech shrewd enough to install and configure some advanced software, Witopia can be an excellent VPN choice and it cost: $6/ month; $50/year. Supports OpenVPN, L2TP and PPTP.
2. VyprVPN

VyprVPN is a very big provider run by global consortium Golden Frog who has legally moved to Switzerland, giving them more freedom and non-US jurisdiction, with servers in 38 countries worldwide. It has simple but effective Windows and OSX clients, and very nice Android and iOS apps. Linux is also supported. 2 or 3 devices for the premier package can be connected at once, and 160-bit to 256-bit OpenVPN encryption. Note that these comments apply to the Pro service, not the PPTP-only Basic plan, which is not really secure and so should be avoided. They do keep connection logs, but no usage logs.

VyprVPN own their own networks and data centers, which is not something many VPNs can be excessively proud of, giving them extremely good speeds and control over their service. They’ve also built their own protocol called “chameleon” which can hide the fact that you are using a VPN entirely, which is very useful in places like China and Egypt.

Positive side of VyprVPN: fast, 160-bit and 256-bit OpenVPN encryption (Pro only), servers in 38 counties, 7 days money back guarantee, Android app, iOS app, up to 3 connections at the same time, P2P: yes
Negative side of VyprVPN : a bit expensive
