Beware of SPAMBOOK! - Facebook SPAM and Virus


fakelogin pages

The spammers on the facebook are Getting Smarter and creative. The spammers are creating new innovative virus codes, that once run will spread on all your friends wall. these Spam status updates with attractive title may look like a ordinary Status update with a link and i swear its really hard to ignore such kind of messages and here comes the threat. today i decided to introduce you to all the current facebook SPAM that are on the rise.


What is Facebook SPAM and how it Works?
I have divided facebook SPAM into 2 types:

Type #1: Facebook Status SPAM
this type of SPAM is Spreading via Facebook Apps. the spammer just creates a facebook app offering some fake "Free stuff" with embedded Virus link. now the Spammer will just post the app URL on his or your wall. When you click on this type of app URL you will be redirected to one facebook application. now the application will prompt you to click a particular link encoded with VIRUS codes saying "free Stuff". Now when you click on this "free Stuff" link, the Virus code gets initiated and the virus will post this link to all your friends wall...and likewise it spreads.

Type #2: Facebook 'likejacking' (External page that will use you as a SPAMMER)
about "Like":- The “like” feature is designed by Facebook so that web developers can place the code anywhere they want on the web. like button helps in sharing the Knowledge with your friends. Not only is it easy to use, but it is also easy to abuse.This type of facebook SPAM is easy to create and really effective. the SPAMMER will just create a webpage containing some attractive tile such as "SHOCKING Hidden Message In The Google Logo!" and a like button and some script. now here the spammer will ask you to "like" the page and will also demand you to share the page on your friends wall to expose the secrete message, he just used you as a spammer. and believe me there is no such kind of secrets.
Below are the Current facebook SPAM that i encountered recently:-

1) The SHOCKING Hidden Message In The Google Logo! You will not believe this!
The SHOCKING Hidden Message In The Google Logo
This is of Type 2 SPAM. when you click the above link you will be directed to an external page that will use you as to promote the SPAM. this page claims to show you "the SHOCKING Hidden Message In The Google Logo"
below is the landing page:


2) Instantly Win a free Iphone 4G!
This is of Type 1 SPAM.

3) Get a FREE Mobile Recharge Just By Few Simple Steps!
This is of Type 2 SPAM.

4) Tracking Number- Phone app
This is of Type 2 SPAM.
Tracking Number- Phone app

How to Recognize Facebook SPAM?
The first clue that there is something awry with the site is its URL, which indicates it provides “free Facebook layouts.” Then, the page traps visitors with some fancy Javascript so that they cannot scroll down or leave the page without “taking a quiz.” Even further, the page tries to scare visitors with a pop-up that says “We have been receiving a lot of spambot traffic from an IP Address Similar to yours. Please complete a quiz to unlock the page”. This is a typical social engineering scare tactic popular with text messaging scams.

How do Spammers Get Benefited?
The only goal of SPAMMERS is to make money. Clicking any of the links in the above discussed SPAM messages sends a request to a affiliate programs, most likely collecting clicks for a CPA (cost-per-action) program. These requests happen so fast that the user would have no idea when and how other sites were being contacted.

The Google Story in 2 minutes - Google is the internet!


fakelogin pages

The internet search engine 'Google' was founded by two smart mathematicians Sergey Brin and Larry Page. It all started as a college project and now it rules the internet rather Google is the internet!. The two met at Stanford University in the 1990s where they were both attending graduate school.



Together, they ended up collaborating on a paper titled The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine. Eventually, this paper would lead Brin and Page to launch the Google search engine in 1998. Google success is solely because of their PageRank algorithm. The term "Google" is similar to "Googol". "Googol" is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. Today Billions of internet users are dependent on google and today Google has all the answers for your questions. Google has totally changed the way people find information, from libraries to internet.

here's a very quick look back at the Google story over the last 11 years. From Stanford to Mountain View and around the world, featuring many different products, starting with BackRub (Search) up to Google Wave, StreetView and Chrome. The 2 minutes video explains Google’s milestones so far would help piece your understanding of Google together.

If you found this video interesting I'd also recommend you reading David Vise's fantastic book 'The Google Story'. Really interesting.

PC Maintenance Tips – To be Followed by Everyone


fakelogin pages

Computers – Some call it a boon to mankind and others say we have become slaves to this innovation. Let rest the disputes, the computers are here to stay for a long, long time as man can do nothing about it. Everything these days is computerized or is at least in the stage of being computerized. Almost every job or service sector is computerized these days. Be it from booking of the railway and air tickets to doing banking, everything can be done at the click of the mouse.

People have drifted towards computers instead completely relying on pen and paper because it reduces the number of blunders to a comparatively higher level. Also, people get to save large levels of data on a computer. People can also opt for additional memory in case you run short of space for storing data on your computer. People can also do complicated arithmetic calculations in just a matter of seconds instead of doing it manually where the input is more tiring. People must be able to access computers easily and on a regular and frequent basis because they have to cope with the advancements in technology.

Since all your important data is stored in the computer, its maintenance is of utmost priority. As the computers play a very influential role in your day-to-day practical life, you must make sure that it is in a proper working condition. In case your computer crashes, you should look for immediate computer help and get it serviced by quality servicemen and have the problem resolved. There are virus types. You have to constantly update your antivirus for attack from viruses.

These days, since the access to Internet has become a lot easier, many problems with relation to computers can be solved by you yourself. This reduces your expenses of having to shell out an amount to a third person who comes onto check your computer. If you search for the problem online, multiple results will pop up. But, you will need an expert’s hand eventually to resolve the problem. At such times, you must be careful in going in for the right service. You are in compulsion to eradicate or remove adware as it can cause problems to the functioning of your system.

You can also register in forums available online. All you have to do is register online and he/she will be able to undertake all the problems related to computers by the respective websites. By registering yourself, you will be able to interact with people who have encountered the same problem that they might have encountered in the past. But, if the problem persists, it is advised that you go to an able and qualified serviceman for good service as you need to resolve the problem ASAP.

here's are some Basic maintenance tips that all computer users must follow. this will help you keep your computer running smoothly.

Remove programs you no longer use or knew about:
Over time, you may have installed games or utilities that you forgot about or no longer use. Why waste the space? Go to your control panel, Add\Remove programs (or Programs and Features in Vista) and uninstall anything you no longer use. Occasionally you will find a toolbar or other item you were unaware was there!

Cleaning your hard drive of unneeded files:
One of the biggest problems is hard drive useage. Your hard drive has more moving parts then any other in your computer and is constantly adding, deleting and reorganizing files. Because of this, you want to clean your computers hard drive. A great tool for this is CCleaner
Simply open CCleaner, and the cleaner section should be open.
Click run cleaner and wait. Thats it, your done.
It is a very safe tool and has never damaged any of the hundreds of computers I have run it on.

Remove invalid registry entries:
Next up is the registry. Frankly, the registry is overrated as a speed tweak, in general, but it does get large and can contain many invalid references. The registry is not an area for even the average computer user to be playing around in. The good news is CCleaner has a safe registry cleaner built in, so why not clean out old, invalid entries?
Click the issues button.
Click scan for issues.
Click fix selected issues.
Thats it, your done, a safe, fast registry clean.

Startup items:

Here is a HUGE culprit on the average PC. See all those icons in the lower right corner of your screen? Those are all being loaded on startup, and those are not all of them either! If your wondering why you have to wait a minute to use your computer after startup, it is because all of those items are loading after Windows has started. They also use up memory just sitting there. Removal takes a bit more knowledge, or research, then the previous two, but you can do it!

First off, if you know what these items in the tray are and do not need them running, you can either right click an icon and look for options or a "run with Windows" option. Otherwise, you can double click any icon to open the program and look for options from there. Some are easy and common. Quicktime, AOL and RealPlayer are good examples of items that do not need to be there.

CCleaner also has a startup manager. Click tools, then startup. You can delete any unneeded items from there. Be careful, there is no backup, so either look up the program on Google or ask on our forums if you want to know what an item is for. Because the startup loads drivers and some programs you may need, be careful removing items you are unsure of.

Defragment your hard drive
Now that you have removed all of this garbage, you have defragmented files all over your hard drive. Reading and writing data on a heavily fragmented hard drive is slowed down because the time for the heads to move between fragments on the disk surface can be substantial. The files on your hard drive now probably look like a box of tacks after I open them and toss them on the ground. Defragmenting your hard drive would be like the box of tacks still sealed. All neat and tidy and easy to get at.

It is to be noted that owning a computer is not the end of the story. But, the proper maintenance is what counts. You need to take all possible steps to ensure that your computer is crisis-free.

How email hacking works? - how to hack email account password?


fakelogin pages

Ever wondered how hackers actually hack into any email account? you might be thinking that it is a very difficult task. yes? not really. Remember Anyone can do this, its a myth that it is done by geeky nerds with incredible technical knowledge. some of you might also think that it is impossible, Yes it is impossible unless the victim is noob or has very poor knowledge of internet.



And if your account gets hacked, only you are responsible for that. for example:-
"In real life, consider a lock with a single matching key. Now you cannot Unlock this lock Unless you have the duplicate key and the duplicate Key can be made only if you get a chance to trace the original key. And this is possible only if the Lock owner is careless."
The same is applicable here. when your Account gets hacked, that's only because of your carelessness. Believe it.

Now a days hackers are targeting social networking profiles like facebook, twitter, etc. rather than email accounts. the same methods are used to hack social networking profiles.
Anyways lets see how email hacking works. though there are many ways to do it, i will discuss 3 basic methods.

1) Phishing (password stealing using fakelogin page)
2) keystroke capturing (using keyloggers)
3) Password Guessing

lets discuss each of them in detail:-

1) Phishing
Phishing is a type of Social Engineering. this is the most widely used hacking technique just because it is really simple and affordable. This can be the simplest way of fooling someone to give you their login details or private information. Phishing is a criminal process of attempting to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords,credit card details by disguising as a trustworthy website.
note: The only clear identification of a website is its URL.

Phishing is typically carried out by e-mail or instant messaging, and it often directs users to enter details at a fake website whose look and feel are almost identical to the legitimate one. The hacker usually sends an e-mail that appears to come from a a bank, or credit card company — requesting "verification" of information.

Please note that any email provider or any Bank Website will never ask you to validate your account by Mail, nor will they ask for verification information without a support request being processed.

Example of email meant to hack facebook account:-

The link goes to fake login page of facebook, and when the login info is entered into the fake login page the password is emailed to the hacker or can be saved in a text file hosted on the server. This technique has 70-90% success rate because its success entirely depends on the user to do the mistake and login to the intended fake page.

Read:- how to create Fake login Page? (Phisher)

2) keystroke capturing
Keystroke capturing is done by using Keyloggers. this is the simplest way of monitoring ones PC to steal their personal details such as passwords and credit card details. Keyloggers are of two types:- hardware and software.

1) Hardware Keylogger
If you can Physically access victims PC, then this could be the ideal keylogger. it is a device which can be quickly inserted in between the keyboard and the PC to capture all the data(keystrokes) entered by the victim. Keystrokes are collected in a temporary file and is stored in the flash memory of the keylogger.

The hacker behind it can now easily pick up the device containing all the information(passwords,credit card details) of victim anytime. Therefore, if desired, the keylogger can be moved to another computer to retrieve the data. Amazed?.. yes it is possible, check your keyboard slot now! Beware of this.

2) Software Keylogger
Software Keyloggers are basically Spyware, they are used to hack remote PC's, ie these keyloggers are used to capture keystroke of a victim which is sitting far away from you(when you don't have physical access). The attacker normally sends this keylogger application via email and somehow conveys the victim to install it.
for example look at the email message below:-

At First sight its really hard to control our self not to click it. right? But When you click on that link, the keylogger is automatically installed on your PC without any warning and sometimes Antivirus fails to recognize this. Now that the Keylogger is residing in your PC, the hacker can now monitor all the activities on your PC. the keylogger constantly collects all the the keystrokes entered by you in a temporary file, which is then periodically uploaded to the hackers location over the internet.

Read:- How to install keylogger on remote PC

Prevention (BETTER safe than SORRY)
- never click on any suspicious links
- never install any Software patch or any Keygen, unless you download it from legit site.
- never try any free Keylogger. (I will post some free keyloggers very soon)

How to Get rid of Software keylogger?
- The good thing about software keylogger is, you will never know about it-when it is installed on your PC, is it working...nothing. so one thing you can do is install a good Antispyware on your PC.
- If you still feel that something is monitoring you,. just Format your Hardisk and reinstall your OS.
- Beware! there are fake AntiSpywares also click here to know more

3) Password Guessing
Password Guessing is also a type of Social Engineering which deals with manipulating someones mind to figure-out his personal information. it requires good social engineering skills and thinking power. here the hacker knows the victim very well, rather hacker is a friend of victim. hacker could be your girlfriend, boyfriend or sometimes family member. also he might be your online friend with whom you share your your profile details including 'date of birth', 'cellphone no', and other favorite things such as cuisines,music,movies..etc. this information is enough for a hacker to start guessing the security question of the email account and in that way reset the password and put his own password and login into the account. and There is 0-20% chances that he will guess your security ques and ans correctly.

Beware!
There are many fake ways of email hacking, you will see all over the internet. Most of these fake ways tell you something like “you need to send an email to account_recovery@yahoo.com with your password in the subject line” ,..etc etc .which is some fake Yahoo account owned by some hacker that just stole your password.
