protect from phishing

Protect yourself from Phishing

Phishing is a electronic communication concept through which a person or a company trying to steal personal data and passwords.

More than 37 million people has encountered phishing attack in the last year surveyed by kaspersky Lab.According to Symantec on 2013 392 e-mails per day is a phishing mail.

It works by impersonating communications from companies that you trust: banks, online payment firms like PayPal, social networks, online retailers and other technology companies, as well as government bodies (tax authorities, for example).

Some tips for avoiding phishing mail:

If it looks wrong, it probably is wrong:Typos can be a sign that an email is dodgy.Typos in an email from your bank really are a red flag – as are all-capitals in the email's subject and a few too many exclamation marks.

Check the email address carefully: A big company usually sends mails from a same address.If that differs then be careful.


Watch for impersonal introductions: Real e-mails comes usually with your real name.But when you get like "Dear Customer" or something like that then its a warning sign.

Beware of threats and urgent deadlines: Sometimes a reputable company does need you to do something urgently – eBay was recently forced to ask its customers to change their passwords quickly after a cyberattack, for example. But usually, threats and urgency are a sign of phishing: if you're being asked to do something to prevent your account being shut down, or within a tight deadline, its cause for caution.

Be careful  about phone numbers and web links : If you are asked to call a number or click a link please do a verification for confirmation for its legitimacy.

Beware of spear phishing : In recent years, a new variant has emerged called spear phishing, which is much more personal.Spear phishing targets individuals: instead of "Dear Customer" an email might address you by name, refer to a recent transaction you've made and/or draw on other information that you've shared online – often on social networks.Most advice on avoiding spear phishing involves urging you to be more careful on social networks: the kind of "could this information be useful to a cyber criminal" caution that may not come naturally when tapping out a tweet or Facebook status update.

SportsQuest Wants To Be QuizUp For Sport, With A Few Twists

Quiz-Up is a challenge-style game that was released last September and has created a lot of buzz around its social model. The massive take-up it achieved demonstrated that there was a market for competitive, real-time quiz apps. A few new apps have tried to replicate this, but not many in vertical subjects. SportsQuest, by Cuju Media, is an iOS app that plans to do just that and was actually started before QuizUp came out. With the World Cup around the corner, and with over 3 billion football fans on the planet, SportsQuest is well-timed.

SportsQuest is a competitive quiz game for iPhone and iPad that lets sports fans test their knowledge against their friends and the clock. The game features a database of over 26,000 questions in 260 categories covering football and 21 other sports. It also includes a crowd-sourcing feature where players can send in their own questions and receive in-game currency and trophies if their questions are used.

It differs from other quiz apps in that, as well as real-time head-to-head gameplay, SportsQuest offers solo games.

Co-founder James Duez says “Players can also ‘play ahead’ when their friends are busy, and let them catch-up. Your opponent gets to play against a recording of your game, so to them it feels live.”

QuizUp has had some criticism for rewarding persistence a little more than knowledge. Instead, SportsQuest has a leaderboard, and players are rewarded for sports knowledge and speed by recognizing cumulative, highest and average scores.

SportsQuest is a also a bit more than a simple quiz. It’s fast-paced with games lasting under a minute. Its in-app currency can be spent on in-game perks that add a strategic dimension and can get you out of a hole.

Like some other free-to-play games like Candy Crush, there is a regenerating ticket mechanism so that players can start off with a book of five game tickets that, once used, immediately regenerate for free every 20 minutes. Impatient players can recharge their books immediately by introducing a friend or can pay 69p. The game also offers unlimited passes for an hour, or one-day and seven-day passes. There are many other payment options.

You can enroll by email, Facebook or Twitter, but the game does not post on your behalf unless you choose to share individual achievements. Some games (including QuizUp) are quick to embarrass you if you do not do well by posting your failures online, which can be annoying.

 

Visio-bike

The iPhone-Controlled Visiobike Will Take You For A Ride

Zoom zoom! A Croatian company wants to put your butt onto a new kind of bike, a sort of electric/mechanical hybrid that uses battery assist to help you up the hills and includes an automatic transmission system that ensures you rarely have to use the battery.

Called the Visiobike, the $5,303 bike is made of carbon fiber and has a dock for your phone. Special software gives you a speedometer, transmission control and other treats as you scoot around town. It also has a camera in the seat for rear-facing views of traffic behind you in real time and for recording if someone rear-ends you.

Created by Marko Matenda, an entrepreneur and bike lover, the bike also has disc brakes, automatic safety lights, and a unique 3 minute recording feature that will show you what happened in an accident. Best of all, if the bike stops suddenly – and I mean really suddenly – a built-in emergency alarm will use your phone to contact the authorities. The feature, needless to say, could be a lifesaver.

Again, it’s surprisingly expensive so you’re going to have to think long and hard before you drop the $5k+ to pick one of these up. However, it looks like a fascinating move forward for pedal-assist bikes and electric bikes in general.
