| June 9th, 2009 | My Shiny New Home Alarm Systems |
I have been browsing for a home alarm system for a while now and I finally found one that seems to fit my bungelow, my wife and kids and our lives. We looked through several different alarm companies to learn the cheapest choice as opposed to the most overpriced choice. I must say, that I was surprised with most of the internet sites we looked at but one stood out to me and that was FamilyHomeSecurity.com. Their security system information was tremendous, eye opening and illuminating. I wish they were a company that established protection systems themselves because I know it would be done very well and with a great deal of attention to cleanliness. What made it a strong experience? Well, we saw a breaking and enterings 9 years ago that wasn’t very fun. Fortuitously, we were outside of town and they solely removed jewellery and money. Now there are tiddlers in the household and a lot more priceless stuff like computing devices, electronics, and above all - family and family memories and photos. We simply sought to find the optimum home alarm system that we could all expend and feel secure with. It was emphatically time to find one this day. So, how did the family find the right security system? We started out by searching ‘home alarms’ on the search engines, then ranged nonstop entirely of the websites on the first page. A plenty of them were scrap…and I was negative about that. Everybody I love says MSN is the greatest…anyhow, later looking over those web sites we couldn’t find what we were looking for. We didn’t wish a hard sales procedure and we didn’t want to imagine a great deal about it. Near all of these sites were bothering sales pitches - I wanted information! Several of the companies we studied were ADT, Brinks, APX, Pinnacle, Monitronics and GE. Some of them appear to habituate synonymous alarm systems…and we lastly finished up with a Pinnacle Security system after learning from the solid selective information received at homesecurityguru and Family Home Security. It’s nice to find tremendous educational websites out there on the matter of security systems. I hope you find the right one for your family! |

| February 12th, 2009 | Phishing |
In the months between May 2004 and May 2005, roughly 1.2 million computer users in the Unites States suffered losses estimated at about $900 million. Two years later, in 2007, adult computer users reported a loss of approximately $3.2 billion. These figures are results of a scam called phishing. Phishing is a criminal act which refers to the attempt of obtaining classified information like social security numbers, credit card, and bank account details via fraudulent means. A perpetrator sends a genuine-looking e-mail requesting a person to give out personal details by clicking on a web site link. The web site looks legitimate except for some small, unnoticeable details. Most of these e-mails warn the user that his account will be suspended if no reply is sent. Phishers also send messages via instant messaging and obtain personal information from social networking sites like MySpace. In the past years, the main targets of phishers have been banks and online payment services like PayPal. There are also e-mails claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, asking for details about a taxpayer’s account and asking him to pay his taxes in advance. Since phishing is considered a form of identity theft, aside from financial losses, it is also responsible for ruining a victim’s credit status and the denial of access to the victim’s own account. Online payment services also tend to lose a large amount of revenues. And since everything is done online, computer systems can be infected with virus. Phishing takes its concept from the idea of fishing, where a single bait is used in the hope of attracting some to bite it. The Affinion Security Center can stop identity theft from destroying your credit rating. Trilegiant is on the cutting edge of identity security. In addition to offering internet security, Affinion offers a wide range of products and services to help you attract new customers, strengthen relationships with existing customers, and produce new revenues. |

| April 18th, 2008 | A Good Firewall Offers Protection Against Security Holes Caused by Open Ports |
All computers have thousands of ports that are used as communication paths between the PC’s applications and services that are required on a network. Ports are like little open doors that allow two or more applications to talk to each other. Your computer has 65537 ports that may be used for various types of communication and data exchange. Of these, only 1025 are commonly used and designated as “well known ports”. All software applications require the use of ports in order to work, but the majority of ports are not used for anything, creating a potential security risk if left open. Quite often certain unneeded ports are left wide open by operating systems, browsers, and other installed applications, leaving secret back doors open on your computer. Most software developers frequently issue patches, service packs and hot fixes when they discover a security hole such as this, but many still go undetected. Software updates will close the open ports that the developer is aware of, which is why it’s so important to perform regular computer updates. Hackers and malicious software applications take advantage of open ports to infiltrate your computer. Spyware, viruses and other types of malware utilize open ports to retrieve information, destroy data and corrupt operating systems. Since unneeded open ports represent the “unlocked back doors” into your computer, it’s important to prevent unauthorized access. A good way to see how vulnerable your computer is to outsiders is to do a port scan. Many security vendors offer an online port scan that will show you exactly how far into your computer a hacker can get. Once you learn what your PC’s vulnerabilities are, you will see that it’s time to get some protection. A Firewall is the Best Defense The best defense against the vulnerabilities associated with open ports is a good firewall. Firewalls act as a “guard” between your computer and the internet, allowing only authorized data in or out. Data packets that are not needed by you or your applications are blocked at the door, so they never get near you. Many firewalls also have a feature called “stealth mode”, which makes your computer invisible to outsiders. Software Firewall For most home computer users, a software firewall (also known as a personal firewall) will provide sufficient protection. This type of firewall installs on your PC and is designed to protect your computer only. It is like having your own personal bodyguard. Some excellent firewall programs are made by internet security companies such as McAfee, Computer Associates, Zone Labs, Symantec, Sunbelt-Kerio, Trend Micro, and AVG - just to name a few. Software firewalls are the ideal security solution for laptop users who often access the internet from hotels, airports, coffee shops, etc… Hardware Firewall If you have a home network or business network, a hardware firewall is the best choice of protection. Hardware firewalls are security appliances that sit between your internet connection and the computers on your network. As opposed to protecting only one PC, a hardware firewall will protect all the computers on the network. Excellent hardware firewalls for business use are made by SonicWall, Barracuda, Hot Brick and Checkpoint, just to name a few. For home use consider D-Link, Linksys, or Alphashield. It doesn’t matter whether you use a hardware firewall or personal firewall, or even both. The main thing is that you do use a firewall to protect your computer from the vulnerabilities of open ports. Today’s cyber-criminals are very sophisticated, and will take advantage of every security hole available. The best defense against this dangerous security issue is a firewall.
