How to Avoid Phishing Attacks and Protect your Passwords Online

How to Avoid Phishing Attacks and 

Protect your Passwords Online

Many times we receive an email saying" you have won 10000$!" or you receive a text message on your phone which says " your number won in the lucky draw contest!" Many of us believe it and so we do everything they ask us to do, like giving away passwords and bank account numbers. But by the time we get to know that our passwords have been hacked, it is too late. This serious problem is termed as "phishing" which cyber criminals use to attack common  users.

What is Phishing?

Phishing is a technique used by the cyber criminals who try to steal your important and private information by pretending to be someone or something you trust. For example, you get an email which seems to have been sent by your bank  asking for your account details, but in fact it is indeed sent by a phishing expert. Though the email seems very real, it is actually sent by a cyber criminal to steal your account passwords. Phishing techniques have become extremely dangerous and sophisticated these days, since they accurately replicate the legitimate trusted source. For example, they will have a real logo, will use the same font and will seem to come from a real email address.

Typical forms of phishing attacks:

1.Account upgrade, system maintenance, software crash or some other mundane reason.
2. Sms text message that seems as if your bank or relative or friend is trying to get in touch with you.
3. Instant message asking you for confidential information.
4.Private message on Facebook containing a link that may take you to a page that looks like a log-in screen for facebook, but actually is a fake log-in screen.

Here in the picture you can see a Facebook phishing attack. Check the URL bar, it is not the Facebook.com

There are a few simple things you can keep in mind in order to avoid the phishing attacks:

• Your bank or credit card company shall never ask for your password under any circumstances.
•  If the email you have received contains a link, do not blindly click on it. It can be a fake link which may lead you to a fake log-in screen or executes some other phishing attack. Before you click on the link, you can find out where it is going to take you by holding your mouse over it for a few seconds and looking at the status bar of your browser.Below one is example of phishing.

• You may receive an email with a link which looks real. Even if you hover your mouse over it, it replicates a trusted website. For example, Look at the following web address- https://www.facebook.com@www.abs123.com . At first glance this may look like the facebook link, but in reality it will direct you to a completely different address which begins separately after the @sign.

• Always check for "https" in the url address bar of your browser, before you enter any confidential information on website. Typically, only trust worthy websites use "https" and phishing websites use "http".
• Make sure that you read the url adress properly. Watch out for websites with spellings that are similar to the actual website. "online.citibenk.com" instead of "online.citybank.com". Cyber criminals are known to register website domain names with a spelling similar to a trusted website.
• A simple way to detect a phishing email is, you can carefully look for your full name mentioned in the email. Usually, the cyber criminal doesn't know your full name and may contact you by referring you with Sir, or your email address.
• Most popular browsers like google chrome, mozilla firefox maintain a list of known phishing webistes and warn you when you are about to visit any phishing website that appears in their database.

• If you receive a link and are not sure whether it is safe to click on it or not, you can however check if it is a phishing attach by submitting the website address to a site called PhishTank. This website maintains a comprehensive list of known phishing websites and provides a quick review if the website is trust worthy or not.

• As you can see, the webpage of Phish Tank provides a bar, to specify any suspected link in it and checks for it. If you sign in or register with the website, you can submit any phishing link to the website and soon it updates the fake link. 

• Here, I have given a link in the bar, to check if it s a phishing attack. We click on the IS IT A PHISH button.

• Phishtank has detected the link as a phish. It also provides a rating for 100%. If it is more than 50% you should not enter into the link.

Other solutions:

There are commercial anti-phishing software tools available that provides you protection against phishing attacks. For example McAfee's SiteAdvisor Live is a product that allows you to identify and protect yourself from risky websites. You can buy it online from its website.

Most importantly, if you have never opened an account with a particular bank and they email you, then it probably is a phishing attack. No matter how tempting their offer might be, do not click on any of their links.

How To Create Your Own Run Commands

There is no doubt that Microsoft Windows is the most widely used operating system in all parts of the world. Apart from being simple to use, it is quite rich in features as well, which makes our lives quite easy.

The Run command available on Windows operating system is one such power packed feature that lets you to open a document or an application instantly with the help of just 1 command. So, rather than clicking several icons or using multiple commands, you can use the Run command to open any program or document instantly.

But, do you know how to create your own run commands? Well, it is really easy, which involves just few steps. Through this article, I will help you understand how to access your favorite applications by creating custom Run commands.

Open Run Command

Before I show you how to create your own Run commands, let’s take a quick look on how to open Run Command. First of all, you need to open the Run window by just pressing the Windows Key along with the R key, i.e. Windows + R. Now, you have to type the name of the program that you desire to open up or execute. Unfortunately, not all programs can be accessed through this method. So, let me show you how to create Run commands that do not come as inbuilt commands.

---

Steps to Create your own run commands

---

Step 1. The first step is to select the software or application for which you want to make custom Run command. For example, let us consider Google Chrome as the example here. Remember, you can choose any application other than which is already there in the Run command.

---

Step 2. In the second step, right click on the desktop of your computer system and make a new shortcut.

Right click > New > Shortcut

---

Step 3. As you select the Shortcut option in the 2nd Step, it will open up a dialog box. And, the dialog box will ask you path of the application or software for which you want to create the Run command.

---

Step 4. Now, you need to browse through the files and choose the one that shows “chrome.exe”. Well, it is quite obvious that all the executable files can be found in the C drive (or wherever the Operating System has been installed), inside the folder “Program Files”. For example, “C:\Program Files\Google Chrome\chrome.exe”

---

Step 5. Once you are done with Step number 4, just click on “Next” button and simply provide a relative name to that shortcut. Remember, the same name will be used later in the Run command.

For example, “GC” for Google Chrome

---

Step 6. Now, click on the “Finish” button. Once it is done, an icon related to that application or software will show up on your computer’s screen. It means that the process of creating shortcut has been done successfully.

---

Step 7. In this step, just cut and paste that recently made shortcut icon into your computer’s root drive, in its Windows folder.

For example, C:\ Windows , Make sure you are the administrator of the computer or have its password.

---

Step 8. Now, you are done with the set up and can run the application through Run Command. Just go to Run and enter the keyword “GC”, and Google Chrome will begin executing.
