		<description><![CDATA[With 73% of Brits shopping online this Christmas (source: EBAY), online criminals are taking advantage and targeting users looking for the right present*. They lure their victims to malware or phishing traps with emails claiming to offer luxury goods at bargain prices or fake delivery company notifications, for example. Criminals are usually out to get personal data such as login details to online banking sites or credit card information. G Data identifies the top 5 dangers users should be aware of when buying presents online, and offers tips on how to prevent becoming a victim of cyber crime. &#8220;Cyber criminals target Internet users in the run-up to Christmas,&#8221; explains Eddy Willems, Security Evangelist at G Data. &#8220;They use a variety of tactics to infect unsuspecting users with malware or steal personal data such as online banking or credit card information. Users should therefore make sure they are using an effective and comprehensive security solution and closely check online shops for reliability and security.&#8221; Top 5 dangers of Christmas shopping online 1.

		<description><![CDATA[After analysing vast numbers of IT threats during the second quarter of 2011, Kaspersky Lab announces the key trends in its latest quarterly malware report. Navigating the web remains the riskiest activity on the Internet, with malicious URLs that serve exploit kits, bots, ransomware Trojans, etc. being the most frequently detected objects online (65.44 per cent). 87 per cent of the websites used to spread malicious programs were concentrated in just 10 countries. The first two locations were the US and Russia. The Netherlands led the way in reducing the number of malicious hosting sites: compared to the previous quarter, its share has fallen by 4.3 per cent to 7.57 per cent. This is down primarily to the efforts of the Dutch police and includes the neutralising of botnets such as Bredolab and Rustock. Kaspersky Lab experts have divided countries into groups according to their local infection levels: High-risk countries (41-60 per cent unique users subject to web attacks) This group includes: Oman, Russia, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Belarus. Newcomers to this group in Q2 were Sudan and Saudi Arabia, while Kazakhstan dropped down a level. Average risk group (21-41 per cent) This group is made up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“The embarrassing hack of PayPal/iTunes accounts once again highlights the weakness of fixed passwords and shows how vulnerable these services are to attack. It is clear that hackers are using increasingly sophisticated methods to steal account details yet amazingly these high profile brands just seem to shrug their shoulders and simply ask users to change their password. This does nothing to prevent the same thing happening again in the future and keeps playing into the fraudsters hands. “If these online service providers want to stay at the forefront of industry innovation they must look at implementing more secure, easy-to-use and cost effective solutions such as software-based one-time passcode systems, which help avoid the embarrassment caused by attacks such as this and the associated loss of user confidence.  These systems ensure that if a user inadvertently enters their details into a phishing site the fraudster cannot use the stolen password or PIN because it has already expired.”  Stephen Howes, CEO of GrIDsure]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cloud services have an important part to play in security management, but the issue facing companies is knowing where they fit and where they don’t. A new guide from managed security company, Network Box, investigates what should be done where. In A Guide to Cloud Security, Network Box – which itself offers cloud security solutions and services – advises companies on which services are best done in the cloud but recommends against neglecting those security services that can’t be delivered remotely, such as firewall, intrusion detection and prevention, and device security. The guide, which is free to download from Network Box’s website, lists what security services can be provided in the cloud, and what should be kept on site: Effective cloud security services Areas that can be effectively delivered in the cloud include: • Email security – anti-virus, anti-spam and anti-phishing • Email encryption – including the ability to keep the email on cloud servers, so an unencrypted version isn’t stored locally • Email archiving (including search and retrieval) • Web cleansing / web filtering On site security that can’t be delivered in the cloud Areas that can’t be delivered in the cloud, and so shouldn’t be neglected by businesses, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Digg and MySpace have exploded on the internet with millions of people jumping on their page several times a day. While these sites offer countless ways to interact, network and stay connected to friends and family members, it also leaves a trail of personal information all over the internet. Here are a few social networking security tips to keep in mind. 1. TMI TMI stands for too much information and sharing too much can lead to horrendous things for your future. Some information to avoid sharing on your social networking pages include your social security number, birth date, home address, phone number, passwords, PIN numbers, bank account and credit card information. 2. Customizing privacy options The great thing about many social network sites is that they give users far more control over their own privacy settings. Take the time to look at the settings, configuration and privacy sections to see what your options are. This allows you to get control over who sees what on the pages. 3. Beware of fake pages A lot of people nowadays create fake pages with silly names or they will impersonate a celebrity. Many times this is all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Companies must consider the implications of using free communications services (such as email and data hosting) on their data privacy, according to a new guide from managed security firm, Network Box. Browser privacy and online security: a guide for IT managers (available free to download from Network Box’s website) warns companies to think carefully before using such services, and also to be aware of the privacy compromise that results from the use of some browser services. It gives companies the information they need to decide whether or not they should use free email hosting, browser and document storage services. The guide gives IT managers information on how users are profiled using information from their browsing activity, email and document content; and guidelines on how to advise users to opt out of these services if they are dealing with confidential company information. It gives details of the security issues and benefits of the major browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, IE and Opera. It also lists the different types of cookies and how they are used; and gives advice on password management in browsers. Finally, the guide gives IT managers steps to follow to ensure that company data is kept private. These [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Using passwords to access online information is not secure enough, according to a new white paper from managed security company, Network Box. Authentication, who are you?, written by Network Box’s Internet Security Analyst, Simon Heron, argues that web-based services – particularly those that hold financial information &#8211; must increase security in order to protect their customers effectively. Heron warns that identity fraud is increasing – particularly card-not-present (CNP) fraud &#8211; and yet secure access to the ever-growing number of web-based applications relies (for the most part) on the same techniques used since the beginning of IT security: user names and passwords. While a number of banks use multi-factor authentication in the form of card-sized number generators (a system that Heron argues is not sustainable on the basis that consumer would balk at carrying round the number of devices required to authenticate access to all their online accounts), most businesses still rely on user name / password combinations. The problem is that consumers simply have too many passwords to remember, and so either use passwords that are simple to remember (and so easy to ‘break’), write them down, or rely on resetting them, using the ‘forgotten your password’ function on a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The number of viruses sent over email has increased by 300 percent in the last three months, according to managed security firm, Network Box. Analysis of Internet threats by Network Box in July 2009 shows the number of viruses is at its highest so far this year, peaking at around 12 viruses per customer per hour. An increasing number of these viruses (5.2 per cent) are originating from India, which is the fourth largest source of Internet threats behind the US (16.59 per cent), Brazil (14.11 per cent) and Korea (6.2 per cent). This is notable as it is the first time that such a significant proportion of the world’s Internet threats have originated from India. It is unsurprising that India is making inroads as a major threat source, according to Simon Heron, Internet Security Analyst for Network Box: “India is a major economic force, with an increasing IT infrastructure and IT industry. A growing middle class with disposable income means an increasing take-up in computers and bandwidth. However, the economy remains difficult to regulate. This results in significant numbers of illegal copies of operating systems, which don’t get patched or updated. They then become infected and so in turn [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone is looking to cut costs in the recession, but there is one solution which many companies don’t realise has the potential to save money for minimal investment and minimal disruption, which also can provide fast ROI. A lot of organisations still have legacy systems and are happy to live with them, given the huge upheaval and potential expense which replacement would mean. But those legacy systems have some costly aspects to them, which can easily be improved and which offer the potential for savings. FTP file transfer from legacy systems normally goes on in the background without anyone paying too much attention to it. It’s the part of legacy systems which is below the surface and which gets taken for granted. Many companies rely on FTP for file transfer, however there are a number of issues which make FTP ripe for improvement and offer companies the potential to cut costs and gain ROI. The solution to the problems of FTP is to use SFTP (secure file transfer protocol) instead. The problems with FTP * security * compliance * performance * cost Security Built in the 1970s, FTP has become an auditor’s nightmare and a major security loophole due to [...]]]></description>
