safe guard from ransomware
 
Adobe issued an emergency update to its Adobe Flash Player software today after researchers discovered a vulnerability that was being exploited to deliver ransomware. Flash has over one billion users, so odds are you are affected by this update.

if you already have it then use CCLeaner check everything to clean all area!

if you haven't got ransomware in your system already, then keep your Flashplayer updated. also be a good thing keep your ant-virus software fully updated as any anti-spyware software as will updated.

Yes there's an increase in this lately - the word is that most of them are using old ploys and hacker software from the early 2000's (new "mug" hackers) - easy for AV's to pick up.

So it's probably PPL new to computing themselves - therefore they'll probably get caught and come out worse for it than those they are trying to fool.

You can't do much except be vigilant with your emails, don't go to unverified sites and stay updated.

Phishing
You receive an email purporting to be from your bank. Messages are various but will prompt you to follow a link to our e-banking site. In fact if you follow the link it will take you to a 'ghost website' that looks like ours. When you log on, your keystrokes will be captured by the thieves and then used to siphon money from your account.

An example of one commonly used message is: 'Dear User. We confirm that today the amount of $832.25 has been debited from your account - Bank'. The message includes a link, apparently to a bank website. Human nature being what it is, there is a great temptation to click on the link to find out where this apparently unauthorised debit has gone. In fact, the link either goes to a ghost website or contains a hidden key logger which infests your computer and may be 'called up' when you log on to a legitimate banking site.

Trojan horse
A program that pretends to be something it's not. Like the original Trojan Horse, it contains something hidden inside it - a malicious program. These programs can damage your computer or might contain a key logger which can even be turned on to capture your keystrokes next time you log on to the official e-banking site.

Spyware
This is software that gathers information without you knowing. It can enter your machine as a software virus or as the result of installing a new program.VirusA malicious software program that invades your computer. There are many viruses. Some cause damage to your computer; others use the infected machine's Internet connection to launch an attack on another computer or computer network.

A particularly serious virus is one that records keystrokes and logs your activities - including your Internet banking numbers and passwords, network passwords and credit card numbers entered into online shopping sites. This information is then sent back to thieves who may use it to siphon your account and make purchases on your cards.

Online Job Scams
Criminals are constantly finding ways of encouraging innocent people to become involved in their activities. One of the ways they do this is by advertising for employees, via legitimate job sites or by using spam.Key points to look out for include:
  • Jobs which are home-based using your own PC.
  • Overseas companies advertising for sales 'agents'.
  • Companies asking for your banking details.
  • Ads which suggest that you can earn lots of money with little effort.
  • Commission based payments, where an amount of money is credited to your bank account and you are required to send the money elsewhere (often overseas) and keep your percentage.

Not only can you be caught up in a scam involving stolen money but often these emails include a 'trojan' or keylogger which can then compromise your own PC.

Good advice is to ignore these types of ads or if you have received an email, delete it immediately from your PC.

Always remember that if it sounds 'Too good to be true', it probably is.
Never follow an email link which takes you directly to a logon screen.

Hellfighter/Stompem: there is a ransom ware pgm that looks like the coversheet of the FBI form letter that states it caught you on many child porn sights, downloading movies etc.
it also has a video in the upper right corner.(if you have a camera installed).
in the lower right corner it tells you to go to walgreens,CVS and others and buy a $300.00-$500.00 money card and insert the numbers in the blank spaces to unlock your computer. good by money. I tell all my computer clients DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER if you turn off the computer it hard lock the ransom ware on the hard drive. instead use control-alt-del open task window and go to applications and delete all on that page. kills the FBI virus before it can lock to your hard drive. good luck.
P.S. the FBI states this virus has made these hackers over $3.5 million dollars U.S.
