5 ways to Prevent Mobile Phishing
If you’re aware that online criminals are always trying to get you to give away your passwords, security data and credit card numbers, you’re probably already careful about where you enter your private information on the Internet. And you check out articles like this to find out if criminals have any new tricks up their sleeves.
And do online criminals have new tricks up their sleeves? The answer to that question, unfortunately, is almost always yes. There’s always a new way to scam you out of your data. Most importantly, you need to realize phishing scams are no longer restricted to your PC. In our mobile, connected world, you need to check twice or thrice when you enter your private information—whether you are on your PC, an ATM or your phone.
Mistaken FBI Porn Raid Underscores Wifi Privacy Risks
For many, the security of their wireless isn’t of great concern, a mixture of those who are unaware, unprepared, or just simply don’t care — but for one man, such carelessness proved to be a grave mistake with serious consequences.
Not locking your wireless network might not seem like a big deal — except of course when one of your shady neighbors logs on and downloads child pornography. As far as the authorities are concerned, that illegal activity originates from your wireless router, so you are the primary suspect.
Lock Down Your Wi-Fi or the FBI Might Come Knocking
A New York man learned the hard way that leaving your wireless router open to the general public can have some very negative consequences, and that the authorities tend to act first and ask questions second.
You might think it’s no big deal to share your wireless network with your neighbors.
But that altruism can bite you in the butt when a less scrupulous neighbor, or a random stranger connects to the wireless network and uses it for illegal activity.
As far as the authorities are concerned, that illegal activity originates from your wireless router, so you are the primary suspect….Click to Read The Whole Story
Being tracked by your iPhone Do you care?
Researchers point out a little known file on the iPhone that tracks and stores your exact movements, doesn’t offer an opt-in, and doesn’t encrypt the data.
Does having your every move tracked by your iPhone spook you, or is it the new normal?
In a story I first saw on ReadWriteWeb.com, “Your iPhone Is Tracking Your Every Move,” by Audrey Watters, I learned that researchers have found a little file called “consolidated.db” on the iPhone that collects rather detailed tracking information on your movements:
The file contains longitude and latitude data, recording the phone’s coordinates, along with a timestamp.
This recording process seems to have started with Apple’s iOS 4 update, which means that there could be almost a year’s worth of location data stored – literally hundreds of thousands of data points.
While many people willingly have their locations made known on devices for an array of applications and social networking purposes, there are factors that make the iPhone’s data collection seem a little more ominous to some.
First, there is no “opt-in” choice presented to the user, and perhaps, most troubling, the data is stored unencrypted and unprotected, and you can’t delete the file.
Pandora subpoenaed in federal investigation into smartphone applications
Pandora Pandora, the popular music streaming company, has been subpoenaed in a federal grand jury investigation involving smartphone apps and user data.
A federal grand jury is opening a Pandora’s Box of questions regarding the privacy of smartphone users’ data.
The popular music streaming company said Monday it has been subpoenaed after claims that smartphone applications are illegally sharing user information with advertisers and other third-parties.
Pandora said they were not the specific target and other subpoenas are thought to have been issued, reported the Wall Street Journal.
Some smartphone apps have been known to transfer user data including location, age and gender to advertisers without explicit consent.
The Journal reported in December that Pandora and others had been releasing information about users and the phones they use.
According to the AP, the Commerce Department has proposed the creation of an Internet “privacy bill of rights.” The bill would set specific rules for companies like Pandora that gather and often distribute user information.
The Federal Trade Commission has gone as far as calling for a “Do Not Track” option that would let users cut off advertisers and other companies from their data.
But in SEC filings, Pandora rebuffed that option and said it “could significantly hinder our ability to collect and use data relating to listeners.”
Data Driven
Should the government crackdown on smartphone apps that share your information?

Secure Your Home Wireless Network for Free
It’s startling how easy it can be to swipe data from wireless networks.
I live in a townhouse, so I’m at close quarters with my neighbors.
It irks me when, for one reason or another, my Wi-Fi enabled notebook discovers nearby networks lacking any sort of security at all.
Were I the nefarious type, I could waltz onto their network and look for shared folders containing sensitive data, leech their Internet connections, steal their media, monitor their network activity, and so on.
I’ve gone so far as to instruct neighbors, who admit they know nothing more about wireless networking than how to turn on the equipment, on how to lock down their networks.
Email Data Breach Affects Credit-Card Issuers, Best Buy, TiVo, More
By Sarah Jacobsson Purewal, PCWorld Apr 3, 2011 3:54 PM
The Epsilon e-mail breach has escalated into a “massive breach,” according to SecurityWeek blogger Mike Lennon.
The breach was first noted on March 31, when Epsilon, a marketing firm whose services include permission-based e-mail marketing and database hosting, began notifying its customers of potential data exposure thanks to an unauthorized entry into Epsilon’s e-mail system. According to Epsilon, the information compromised was “limited to e-mail addresses and/or customer names only,” and “no other personal identifiable information associated with those names was at risk.”
One of Epsilon’s clients, grocery chain The Kroger Co., subsequently notified its customers that the database had been breached, and urged its customers to be wary of e-mail from senders they did not know. Later, it was revealed that JPMorgan Chase, Capital One, Marriott Rewards, McKinsey Quarterly, US Bank, Citi, Ritz-Carlton Rewards, Brookstone, Walgreens, The College Board, and the Home Shopping Network (HSN) have joined the ranks.
Facebook Will Not be Free Anymore
Paid accounts users will get unlimited cloud storage for photos and videos, no banner ads and popups!
This comes as a shocker to us. Facebook has announced that it will charge users for holding an account on the website. Users will get two account options – Free and Pro. Free accounts will let users post photos and links, but will have size limited to thumbnail only, big banner ads and popups…
The Best Antivirus Software in 2011
Antivirus vendors have included “2011″ in their product names since the summer of 2010.
Now that the year 2011 has actually arrived it’s time for a new look at the whole collection. Several of the latest additions attempt to crank up protection by running two different antivirus engines, and some actually succeed. This batch also brings a new Editors’ Choice for free antivirus and a new shared Editors’ Choice for commercial antivirus.
