Hacked Zappos Customers: Beware Phishing Scams

2012-01-17T09:41:00.003-05:00

http://mashable.com/2012/01/16/zappos-phishing-scams/

As hacks go, Zappos’s attack over the past weekend could have been a lot worse.
If you’re one of the estimated 24 million affected Zappos or 6PM.com (an affiliate site) customers, you can take solace in the fact that only the last four digits of your credit card number have been compromised. Likewise, as Zappos CEO Tony Hseih explained in an email to customers on Sunday, hackers stole a cryptographically scrambled version of users’ passwords, not the actual password.
But even though the damage sounds pretty benign, security experts caution that affected customers may still see some fallout, including becoming the target of phishing scams and possibly still worrying about those compromised passwords.
Robert Siciliano, a McAfee consultant and identity theft expert, says he expects whoever hacked Zappos’s site will now sell the data to people who run phishing scams. "They’ll sell it 10,000 accounts at a time, short money, like $100," he says. While hackers don’t have complete credit card numbers, Siciliano says there’s enough information for a hacker to approach affected users as either Zappos or the credit card company and then ask them for more data — the classic phishing scam — which might be supplemented with a voicemail "vishing" attack as well.
Siciliano warns users who got Hseih’s email to avoid clicking on links that purport to be from either Zappos or their credit card firm over the next few months. Phony emails and voicemail messages typically ask users to "update" their info, giving hackers access to more potentially damaging data.
That said, Siciliano says he can’t be sure how many people are likely to be targeted. "I was a PlayStation user and I didn’t get [targeted by phising schemes]," he said, referring to an attack on attack on Sony’s PlayStation Network last April. "But that doesn’t mean nobody was."
Chester Wisniewski, a senior security advisor at Sophos, says another danger is that the hackers were able to decipher users’ passwords. Depending on the level of encryption, Wisniewski says this process can take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. "You can typically crack millions of [passwords] within hours with a single powerful computer," he says. However, if Zappos employed password salting, then deciphering its passwords will take a lot longer.
A Zappos rep declined comment on the level of encryption the company uses for its password.
If the hackers do decipher user passwords, it won’t necessarily be dangerous in itself. The problem is that most people use the same password for multiple accounts. If a hacker knows what password you used at Zappos, he’ll probably be able to figure out how to hack your Facebook account as well.

Everyone admits that love is wonderful and necessary, yet no one

Sweetheart, I sent a kiss on a refreshing wind: the kiss howled
across the plaints and flowers; it brushed the underbrush; it
stroked the cattails; it kicked up a dust storm; it made the cactus
bristle; it teased the lilies; it snuck across the shore and stirred
the ocean; and whipped through sails, it picked up the scent of
gardenias and honeysuckle; it wrote, ?I need you? in the clouds? and
finally it arrived at your door hoping to find you because I am
looking for you, my love www.findloveon.in/

NACHA PHISHING ALERT - EMAIL CLAIMING TO BE FROM NACHA

2011-11-16T08:58:00.003-05:00

The Electronic Payments Association has received reports that individuals and/or companies have received a fraudulent email that has the appearance of having been sent from NACHA and signed by a non-existent NACHA employee. Specifically, this email claims to be from the “Electronic Payments Association” and appears to be coming from the email address "payments@nacha.org.” See a sample of the email below.

Be aware that phishing emails frequently have attachments and/or links to Web pages that host malicious code and software. Do not open attachments or follow Web links in unsolicited emails from unknown parties or from parties with whom you do not normally communicate, or that appear to be known but are suspicious or otherwise unusual.

NACHA itself does not process nor touch the ACH transactions that flow to and from organizations and financial institutions. NACHA does not send communications to individuals or organizations about individual ACH transactions that they originate or receive.

If malicious code is detected or suspected on a computer, consult with a computer security or anti-virus specialist to remove malicious code or re-install a clean image of the computer system.

Always use anti-virus software and ensure that the virus signatures are automatically updated.

Ensure that the computer operating systems and common software applications security patches are installed and current.

Additional information and guidance on phishing is available from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

Be alert for different variations of fraudulent emails.

No need to file a Form SS-4. We ask you the questions and you give us the answers. After all validations are done you will get your EIN immediately upon completion. You can then download, save, and print your EIN confirmation notice.
This EIN is your permanent number and can be used immediately for most of your business needs, including opening a bank account, applying for business licenses, and filing a tax return by mail. However, no matter how you apply (phone, fax, mail, or online), it will take up to two weeks before your EIN becomes part of the IRS' permanent records. You must wait until this occurs before you can file an electronic return, make an electronic payment, or pass an IRS Taxpayer Identification Number matching program.
Due to a high volume of requests for EINs, the IRS will begin limiting the number of EINs assigned per day to a responsible party.

If you are not able to view this email, click here.

Hello,

I'm so thankful for the hundreds of responses to my survey about my upcoming course, $100K+ Job Search Secrets. Based on what I've heard, I'm going to be adding some additional content to the course that will make it even more effective and pertinent.

But this means I'll be delaying the formal course launch a bit.

In the meantime, I could really use your help with something. Although much of the course is online, a good deal of important printed content goes along with it — and I'd be grateful for your feedback on what I now have.

I've placed an order with the printer for 200 copies that'll ship by August 1. And I'd like you to be one of the first to review one of them.

It's going to cost me around $48 per copy to print and send this written material to you. If you'll help me cover just a token of the cost, I'll go ahead and Express Mail it to you by August 2 to preview. (I'll also give you access to the online portion of the course on August 1.) I can ship it to you for just $7.00-barely the price of the mailing.

I plan on selling the course for $497.

Why am I printing only 200 copies? Simple: I'm using a commercial printer and that's his minimum run.

When these copies are gone, they're gone—and I won't be making this offer again.

You'll still be able to get the course, but it won't be available to others until next fall or winter, depending on how long it takes me to add the additional content.

So go ahead and check out the course—really use it for about a month. And if you get great results from it and think it's awesome, don't do anything and I'll bill you the balance the first week of September. But if you don't like it, let me know and I'll never bill you, and you can keep the material anyway.

Because what interests me most is getting your feedback on the course.

To thank you for your effort, I'll provide you a course update incorporating all the additional content people have told me they want to see. You'll get the best of both worlds:
First, you'll be part of an elite prerelease group that gets the course before everyone else.
Second, you'll be able to put to use what you learn immediately—before everyone else.
Your feedback is critical. Do you like the course? How could it be better? How many $100K+ jobs were you able to get using the material? How many interviews did you get? Did you increase your income? Could you provide me a testimonial? (This would really help me when I formally begin selling the course-I hope you'll remember to endorse me!)

I'd really like to send you the course for $7 and get your feedback after you've read through it.

So … notice a little link below this email to take advantage of this offer?

Go ahead and click it!

Because I'm printing only 200 advance copies, I can't do this for everyone. So please don't circulate this email. This is a prerelease offer—I just want your feedback on the course.

Let me know what you think!
All the best,

Ha***on B***es, Esq.

Secure Wireless Networks Available

2011-07-01T09:51:00.007-04:00

Tuesday, July 5, 2011 at 9:00am, Fordham IT will be enhancing the security of the wireless networks at the Rose Hill, Lincoln Center, and Westchester campuses. In order to do so we will be adding Service Set IDentifiers (SSIDs) to the current list of wireless networks. These networks will use the WiFi Protected Access II (WPA2) protocol and they require a key (password) to encrypt your wireless network traffic.

To access the secure wireless networks, simply select one of the following available wireless networks and enter the WPA2 Key when prompted for a password:


Campus         SSID          WPA2 Key
Rose Hill      FORDHAMRH-S   FORDHAMRH-S
Lincoln Center FORDHAMLC-S   FORDHAMLC-S
Westchester    FORDHAM400-S  FORDHAM400-S

The following links contain more information on how to connect to and configure your wireless access:

MAC OSX
http://www.ehow.com/how_4810985_use-wpa-wpa-macbook.html

Windows XP/7
http://www.ehow.com/how_8303816_connect-wpa2-network-xp.html
http://www.ehow.com/how_6776930_connect-computer-wirelessly-router.html

Please note the existing unsecured wireless networks, FORDHAMRH, FORDHAMLC and FORDHAM400 will remain active and available, however, they are discouraged from being used and will ultimately be phased out. Additional wireless security enhancements which will integrate with your AccessIT ID, will be added in the coming months.

If you are unable to connect to a WPA2 network, make sure you update all network drivers to the latest versions. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the University Help Desk at 718-817-3999 or via e-mail to helpdesk@fordham.edu.

I have been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all and our flight leaves pretty soon from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills. your contribution will go along way here. Please be so kind to reply back so i can tell you what to do and how to get some cash to us...

Am freaked out at the moment.

Subject: Kindly do this help for me please

Hello,
How are you and your family? I'm just optimistic all is well. I just want you to know that I'm presently in the UK for a Seminar. I'm really sorry I didn't inform you about the trip. It was so Urgent and I just have to be at the seminar. Please I want to confide in you and I want it private between us because I don’t want my other family members or friends to get worried over this predicament of mine. I was attacked on my way to the hotel I lodged, although I wasn't hurt because I complied immediately but my mobile phone and luggage were stolen. What bothered me most is my Cards but I have called the card company and blocked my cards and I have also been to the embassy to reschedule my flight. Aside these, I need to sort out some vital issues including my bills.

Please I need financial assistance. I would like you to help me with £1750pounds or any amount you could afford. I will refund you with interest upon my arrival back home. Let me know if you would be able to help me with the money or any amount you could afford. If you will be able to help me with the money then you can go to the nearest western union outlet or into any nearest bank and use the western union money transfer service to transfer the money to me directly. Below are the details you will need to make the transfer on my name at the Western union office. After the transfer, just email me the money transfer control number [MTCN] on the receipt. I will be able to receive the money here immediately with my passport.

Name: Samantha Kramer
Address: 203 Bath Street Glasgow G2 4HZ Scotland, United Kingdom.

Looking forward to your positive response.
Many thanks in advance,

Sam

Subject: I need help!

I'm sorry for this odd request because it might get to you too urgent but it's because of the situation of things right now.

I'm stuck in London,England with my family right now, we are here on a short vacation then I was robbed, worse of it is that bags, cash, cards with my cell phone was stolen at GUN POINT, it was such a crazy experience for us and we need help flying back home, the authorities are not being 100% supportive but the good thing is we still have our passports and return tickets but currently having troubles paying off the hotel bills and also getting a cab to take us to the airport.

All we need is $1,850.00 but anything you can spare right now will be appreciated and I promise to refund it to you as soon as I arrive back home safely.. You have my word and you can get it to me through western union, Please get back to me so that i can give you my details to send the money to.

Thanks,
Anne

I'm badly stranded here and I need your urgent help, I had to beg a librarian to allow me send messages through his PC, please! can you assist me with $1,550 so that I could pay my hotel bills and see how I can recover my things? I'll definitely refund the money as soon as I return.

let me know, I'm so worried...
Thanks.
