Crime / New Internet Scamming by UltraLeslie1: 2:40pm On Mar 22, 2017 |
Six weeks ago, a young woman called Zed (not her real name) was in a meeting at work when a message popped up on Facebook Messenger from a distant friend. "Hey babe," it began. The friend asked Zed to vote for her in an online modelling competition, which she agreed to do. But then - disaster. Adding her email address to the competition register had caused a tech meltdown, her friend said. She needed to borrow her email log-in to fix it quickly and restore her votes. Zed was unsure. The friend begged - her career was at stake, she pleaded. Still in the meeting and powerless to make a call, Zed gave in - a momentary leap of faith. Except it was not her friend that she was talking to - someone else had got into the account and was pretending to be her. It's a scamming technique known as spear phishing. What is spear phishing? "Phishing uses behavioural psychology to trick victims into trusting the attacker in order to obtain sensitive information," said Paul Bischoff of Comparitech, who also talked to Zed. "Spear phishing is less prevalent, but far more dangerous. Spear phishing targets an individual or small group of people. The attacker can gather personal information about their target to build a more believable persona." How do I protect myself? Besides never sharing the credentials for your online accounts, a good way to stay safe is to enable "two-step authentication". This means that users must enter another code besides their password, received for example by their mobile phone, to log in. This can usually be set up in the security settings for your account or during the sign-up process. Two-step authentication is offered by Gmail, Hotmail, Apple, Amazon, Yahoo, Facebook and Twitter among others. Within minutes, Zed watched in horror as she was locked out of one account after another, as well as her Apple iCloud where she stored all her data - including a photo of her passport, bank details, and some explicit pictures. The hacker took control of all her IDs as they were all linked to the email address details she had supplied. The scammer also activated an extra layer of security, called two-step authentication, meaning that they received all alerts about her accounts and could reset them. Then a man called. The number had a Pakistan area code. "He started the call by saying he didn't want any drama, he didn't want me to cry, he wanted me to talk to him like a professional," she said. He sounded young, perhaps a college student, she thought. 'Immoral' He accused her of leading an "immoral" life. He had seen her photographs, he knew she had smoked and had boyfriends and was sexually active. He asked her what her parents would think and was furious when she said they already knew. "He claimed he had hacked thousands of women," Zed says. "He said 10 or 12 he had felt bad about because he couldn't find anything about them that was 'wrong'." Zed was not part of that group. "He said he was happy when he hacked my account. That I deserved everything." He told her he would post the explicit pictures on her Facebook page - where she has more than 1,000 friends. "I offered him money. I asked if I could pay. He said, 'Don't talk about money.' He sounded irritated," she said. Instead, he wanted her to perform a sex act for him on camera. Zed refused. "Either you do it for me or you do it for the whole world," he told her - and uploaded one of the photos to Facebook. Zed had already warned her boyfriend and parents who assembled an army of friends waiting to report activity on her account. Within 15 minutes it had been disabled by Facebook - but she still received concerned messages from contacts. "A friend who is like a brother sent me a message - it wasn't him who had seen [the photo] but a friend of his," she said. "I feel like I mustn't think too much about how many people saw [the photos]." The last thing the scammer said to her was, "Have a great life." "It seemed to me the only reason he was doing this was to morally police women and get them to do stuff for him," Zed said. "He wanted a gallery of explicit photographs of women. That seemed to be his motive." Zed does not consider herself to be digitally naive. She is a bright, articulate 20-something from India who works in the media industry on the US east coast. "I have been tech savvy and on the internet almost my entire life - but I've never really seen the power of what people can do until now," she says. Regaining control of her accounts has been a struggle. It took Zed a month to get her Apple ID back after engineers created a bespoke questionnaire for her containing answers that were not stored in her account. Gmail and Facebook have also been restored, but she has lost Snapchat and her Hotmail address - her central account which she had used for more than 13 years. 'Chink in the armour' "I feel for the poor woman - these scams are so easy to fall for," said cybersecurity expert Prof Alan Woodward from Surrey University. "I think what it shows is that security is a combination of people, process and technology. You can be very 'savvy' in any one or two of these but scammers are superb at finding novel combinations that, frankly, we just wouldn't think of. "I know it sounds so obvious but, regardless of who they are, you should not share your username and password. Give these scammers a small chink in the armour and they are sadly brilliant at getting in and running amok in your digital life." Zed still uses iCloud but does not store personal stuff on it anymore - and has activated two-step verification everywhere. "I still see the value in the storage. But I will never ever give any information away again," she said. Zed originally decided to share her story on community site Reddit after trying to find others who may have been conned by the same man. "I was really shocked to discover that I found absolutely nothing," she said. "I was hoping that speaking up about it would remedy that problem and encourage others to share their stories. "It also felt like the only way to get back at him." As far as Zed knows, the scammer has not been caught. "Cyber-criminals come in all shapes and sizes,' said prof Woodward. "Their motive is not always monetary gain. As we have sadly seen of late, revenge or just being plain malicious is a growing trend." Curled from the BBC:http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-39338004 |

Mynd44:your position is embarrassingly uncorrelated! Football is a game played for 90minutes and it's a professional activity. Big brother naija is a worthless, uncommon invention where adults are forced to act in isolatated condition. It is like putting humans in an isolated social laboratory for months and watch them gradually lose their normal inhibitions and become conditioned by their captors to act in manners they will naturally abhor. (organisers) It's a psychological war of behavioural restriction where the captors act out in response to little or no choice. BBN is an unscripted acting forced on the electronic viewership with cable TV. I wonder why they won't make it in DVDs and sell so we can see how many people will buy. I think it's a shame on you promoting this idle activity that encourages laziness, gossip, unproductivity and make the youth to aspire for cheap fame and notoriety. 2 Likes |
Politics / Re: Senate Has No Lawful Authority To Invite Hameed Ali – Falana by UltraLeslie1: 10:15am On Mar 21, 2017 |
oyinkinola:I get it alright! So because the senate is corrupt and Ali should be allowed extort the public? So because Amaechi who couldn't give account of funds in his state was denied vouching by the Senate, we should allow Custom official to impound millions of vehicles on the road opening a gateway for chaos, fraud and financial rape of Nigeria? I get your point. Perhaps the senate should never have intervened in the planned data hike because they are very corrupt. And going by your logic, Nigeria should be allowed to slid into a dome of disorder because the senate is too corrupt to do what is right. Difference is, I'm talking law and you're talking morality and sentiments. Thumbs up. |

I remember Goodluck Jonathan's Scam of new vehicle plates and driver's licence. It was all in a bid to fill up someone's purse at the expense of ordinary Nigerians. This custom duty plot is one and the same. * Ali, the custom boss should put on his uniform before the senate as mandated by law.

All I see is Ali running like a frightened chicken looking for media instigated legal distortion after the Saraki Range Rover attempted blackmail on the Senate failed. Custom act mandates the customs boss to be on uniform. It is the law. And the senate are empowered by the constitution to invite Anyone on any matter. Ali cannot appear before the Senate in flagrant disregard to the law by not being in uniform. And falana is a legal prøstitute selling his legal mandate for cheap publicity. He is a disgrace and desecration on the temple of justice. Falana is a bítch whose legal orifice has be bartered by dirty dicks. Shameless fool. 2 Likes |

Nearly all the features listed are not pioneered by this Volvo. The Mercedes S class which auto-applies the brakes when the driver is about to hit an object, and tightens the seatbelt and auto-role up the class if they are down and automatically wind them down after the impact is the safest. The S class actually warns a driver by vibrating the steering when the driver departs from his lane or when he's drowsy. The S class further warns approaching cars of dangers ahead. 9 Likes |

@Cutedharmee But military police are strictly for military matters, concerning military breach. For instance, the soldiers who absconded during the boko haram crisis or those who committed mutiny, etc will be dealt with if need be by the military police. As the Nigeria police have no statutorily power over such matters. When a soldier unofficially commits a civil crime, the police takes him completely. That's how it is all over the World. The frequent clash between the army and police have overwhelmed the law and the police mandate to investigate and arrest ALL. |
