19.01.2022 What Google learned from 1 billion evil email scams Here’s a not so fun fact: According to Google, Gmail users received 18 million daily malware and phishing emails related to COVID-19 during the early months of the pandemic (back in April). Add to that another 240 million COVID-related daily spam messages. While spam is more of a nuisance than anything, phishing and malware emails are a serious threat to your privacy and online security.... Is there anything they can do about all the malicious emails they receive? Yes... there is. In this month’s featured story from Malwarebytes Labs, take a closer look at an email study conducted by Google and researchers at Stanford University on the problem of unwanted, unsolicited emails. Among many interesting findings, the study found that 42 percent of malicious emails target users in the US.

18.01.2022 A very sound piece of advice...!

16.01.2022 PayPAl Phishing Attacks On The Rise For the last few weeks, there’s been a solid stream of fake PayPal emails in circulation, twisting FOMO (fear of missing out) into DO THIS OR BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN. It’s one of the most common tools in the scammer’s arsenal, and a little pressure applied in the right way often brings results for them. Claim people are going to lose something, or incur charges, or miss out on a valuable service, and they’ll come running. ... In the attached article is an outline of who these emails claim to be from, what they look like, and the kind of panic-clicking that they’re pushing. These are just a few examples; there are many, many others. If you're worried about security, send me a message and we'll talk. Stay safe, John

12.01.2022 Attack Of The Instagram Clones Could your social media account be spoofed? Why would anybody do it? What can you do to avoid having a doppelgänger? This type of scam is not limited to one type of Social Media platform - Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn so keep an eye out for cloned accounts. ... Question ANY notification of a new account with your "friend" or an Admin, in the event the notification is related to a group or page. Stay safe, John

05.01.2022 You can learn a great deal about fraudulent emails like this one. 1 - The 'sender' is (supposedly) the Publicity Secretary of SunTrust Bank International. In the email, the company name is spelt THREE different ways (Sun trust Bank - Sun Trust Bank - SunTrust Bank International). You would, surely, expect a bank with the assets to provide a $1.5-million payment to 85% of the world's population (some 6.75 billion people), would take a little care to spell their own name corre...ctly... WOULDN'T YOU? Regardless of which spelling you use, using the name in a Google search reveals they are in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. 2 - As a - supposedly - important and "official" email, you'd expect it to give an official domain-name email address - something like "[email protected]" - wouldn't you? I certainly would! 3 - As THIS email gives a reply address that has domain name of 'daum.net', you can use that domain name in another quick search on Google. You end up being taken to a Korean page... seemingly a place where you can get a generic, money-grabbing, population-swindling email address! The question that SHOULD arise, in your mind, is: "Why is an American bank directing me to reply to a Korean address?" If that's what comes into your mind, CONGRATULATIONS! You are on the way to never being easily duped again!
