A myriad of issues can be held responsible for this mayhem, which can range from breaking of DNS relay function, network channel interference, firewall issues, to wireless connection, setting up of wired/ wireless routers, problems with installation and up-gradation of router and so on so forth. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It is most frustrating and helpless situation when you cannot connect your computer system to the internet or any other network and it goes all out especially when despite knowing the root cause of problem, you can’t repair it due to lack of knowledge about the core technicalities.

But then again somehow in spite of a slew of techniques out there; the ones that really end up standing out are:</div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">• <b>SQL injection:</b> Using this technique hackers end up creating database queries by copying Web client input. A one of those scenarios where hackers end up constructing input query strings which if not carefully inspected and if rejected by the application would end up returning confidential data. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">• <b>Cross-site scripting:</b> In this technique hackers tend to insert scripting code (such as JavaScript or ActiveX) into an input string; thereby causing a Web server to expose sensitive information such as usernames and passwords. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">• <b>OS command injection:</b> These are applications which tend to create operating system commands from Web input; such as accessing a file and displaying its contents. In a scenario where input strings are not carefully checked, hackers are successful in creating input which ends up displaying unauthorized data or modifies files or system parameters. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">• <b>Session hijacking:</b> Via this technique hackers end up gaining access to a logged-in session by guessing the contents of a session token based on knowledge of token format. The technique further ends up enabling a hacker to take over a session and access the original user's sensitive account information. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">• <b>Parameter or URL tampering: </b>Web applications end up embedding parameters or URLs in returned Web pages or otherwise work towards updating cookies with authorization parameters. Hackers can modify these parameters, URLs or cookies and cause a Web server to divulge sensitive information. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">• <b>Buffer overflows:</b> Application code should always keep a check on the input data lengths to input data doesn't overflow at the end of a buffer and modify adjacent storage. For hackers quickly end up learning about those applications which end up failing in checking for overflows and creating inputs which caused the error in the first place. <a href="http://www.pccare247.com/">www.pccare247.com</a></div><br />

But pay heed to the latter part, because in spite of ones who think they are saving money might be asking for trouble in the long run. How??

On the other hand, free remote access and meeting tools also do not offer features for helpdesk managers such as technician monitoring, session reports or customer surveys. Features considered responsible for a more productive helpdesk and a flawless customer support services which enable entities to retain clients.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

On the other hand, next-generation support tools come in good towards helping track technical issues and creating an atmosphere resulting in IT helpdesk cost savings, increased technician productivity and less downtime for end users; further translating to higher satisfaction.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">-<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Unhappy and inconvenienced end users<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Usage of legacy tools prevents helpdesk from sharing their screen with end users and subsequently training them on new applications or at the same time showing them how recurrent issues could be fixed. To add more to the situation on hand any cutbacks in IT staff, the proliferation of mobile devices and increased worker mobility, seemingly low-cost solutions end up leading to exorbitant end user downtime, lost data and opportunity cost for the business.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

For any downtime would mean lost productivity, gaps in client service and other issues which would prove harmful for the business. Therefore, it is imperative to address technical issues across varied platforms so that new services would lead to high profits and the very best of service and support.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

So, in this regards helpdesk and support teams present the best opportunity for promoting a service and making it easier for end users to request support. But then again, on the contrary, if the remote support interface can’t be customized, clients end up missing out on an opportunity to present a professional appearance, gain efficiencies and promote their business.</span></div></div>PCCare247- Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03510960918102749719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781768292124282807.post-5068297591424510832012-03-06T21:04:00.002-08:002012-09-13T00:40:21.648-07:00Keep Cyber attackers at bay with these easy pointers<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

But then again, also on a flipside, in spite of the entire hullabaloo, not all malware is malicious in intent and is commonly referred to as spyware; malicious software truly hell bent on infiltrating computers every now and then.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">A case wherein hackers end up refining the capabilities of malware, expanding the flux technologies in order to obscure the infrastructure and making it even harder to locate their servers. However, in the recent times recent variants have come out that are able to detect when someone is investigating an activity; in order to respond with a flooding attack against an investigator. In short, malware is becoming stickier on target machines and more difficult to shut down. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">So, just in case to prepare PC users better, we ended up preparing a list of processes which need to be watched out for in order to take any malware threat head on. Starting with:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">ISASS.EXE<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">A part of Optix.Pro virus, Isass.exe is also better known as the Optix.Pro Trojan that carries along with it a payload ability to disable firewalls, local security protections and the ability to open a backdoor capability for fairly unrestricted access into a PC. The Trojan was a brainchild of someone by the name of s13az3; who at the same instance also ended up being a part of the Evil Eye Software crew.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />

Taking advantage of the Windows LSASS vulnerability, the process creates a buffer overflow, forcing a PC to shut down. Although not necessarily considered to be a particularly destructive piece of malware, it is a nuisance since it continues to access an e-mail address books while at the same time sending spam to contacts.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">CRSS.EXE<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Crss.exe is a process-forming part of the W32.AGOBOT.GH worm. The spyware worm is distributed via the Internet through e-mail and acquires the form of an e-mail message, in the hope that a PC user would end up opening the hostile attachment. The worm has its own SMTP engine to gather E-mails from a local computer while at the same instance trying to re-distribute itself. Yet, at the same time in worst case circumstances, the worm also ends up allowing attackers to access a PC while stealing personal data and passwords.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The Trojan ends up spreading itself via networks and allows attackers to access a PC from remote locations, steal their passwords and along with it all forms of Internet banking and personal data.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />

The worm is distributed as an e-mail message and requires a PC user to open a hostile attachment. Using the SMTP engine, the MyDoom worm is known to gather e-mails from a local computer in order to redistribute itself. Further, as it would go, the other payload carried by the process was a denial of service attack on the website of SCO Group. But that’s somehow not it, for the later versions of the worm have also been known to carry out denial of service attacks on other sites, and those popularly being Google and Lycos. <a href="http://www.pccare247.com/pc-security/malware-removal.html">http://www.pccare247.com/pc-security/malware-removal.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></div></div>PCCare247- Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03510960918102749719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781768292124282807.post-31954943163950456632012-03-02T03:12:00.005-08:002012-09-13T00:43:43.691-07:00Data Loss Disasters: Tackle threats head on before they lead to irreparable damages<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Often Data leaks and losses can cause an organization to lose significant amount of money on legal, public relations and brand reputational front. So, every time an organization ends up losing a USB stick, CD-ROM or suffers a data breach, the same old questions are asked and those really being was data transported in an unencrypted or an insecure format? Or at the same time have IT security managers failed to grasp the data leak protection dilemma and developed systems — and what strategies do they really have in place to prevent further data leaks and losses. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Reasons leading to Data Losses<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8qvFefU4tLUiFwqnzPhM6tVQtgbZLBwJaA2RFXePub3L31yifSED_zR8Lmv2cy4TDXcPr0QIBqVqUChmSVOCU7gLfZTbG3theVgot7NixJoN3jnp5OkVATsp64SdWIR0ptXBGgdIKXjQM/s1600/iStock_000018265671XSmall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="IT Technical Support" border="0" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8qvFefU4tLUiFwqnzPhM6tVQtgbZLBwJaA2RFXePub3L31yifSED_zR8Lmv2cy4TDXcPr0QIBqVqUChmSVOCU7gLfZTbG3theVgot7NixJoN3jnp5OkVATsp64SdWIR0ptXBGgdIKXjQM/s320/iStock_000018265671XSmall.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">There can be many reasons which might end up leading to data losses. But amongst all of them there are a few which would have far reaching consequences than others. Starting with:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;"></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Unintentional emails</span></b></li>
</ul><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">In the present times, it would be very easy to fire off an email in haste to the wrong individuals. Better still, as it is the case such instances end up highlighting multiple procedural and policy failings triggered or further compounded by accidental actions of employees. With better security systems put in place and acting as a safety net, these data errors either wouldn’t have happened or at best their effects might have been mitigated. Yet, at the same security systems could have verified the email addresses of the recipient, recognized the content was sensitive and would have proceeded to enforce the company policy of either blocking the email or automatically encrypting it.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"></div><ul><li><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Missing USB stick</span></b></li>
</ul><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">With many employees choosing to work from their home on an occasional basis and at the same time carrying work home with them on a USB stick is bound to lead to data theft in a big way. With many USB sticks not secured, the data can—and often does end up turning up at the most unexpected places. As it goes secure USB sticks need to be used in those situations where data loss is anything but always something that is bound to happen sooner or later.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"></div><ul><li><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Rogue employees resorting to stealing of employer’s data</span></b></li>
</ul><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">When an employee is allowed uncontrolled access to new data over a lengthy period of time, it is a potential cause for lost business. Although in spite of a range of data security systems in place, there is generally a clear gap in the situation whereby large amounts of sensitive data could be accessed and be copied on to a single workstation at a particular time each week. And as it would be the case, any IT security audit and review system should have the ability to spot such a procedural loophole even in those situations where a security system would be applied on a fit-and-forget basis.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"></div><ul><li><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Corporate responsibility and Social Media</span></b></li>
</ul><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">With an organization having social media security controls in place; replete with staff training and procedures defining staff responsibilities such a situation can be easily avoided, since employees would be unable to access social media services, except wherein expressly allowed only by relevant <a href="http://www.pccare247.com/" target="_blank">IT Technical Support</a> systems.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div>PCCare247- Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03510960918102749719noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781768292124282807.post-60736020056251405282012-02-29T22:20:00.002-08:002012-09-13T00:44:54.341-07:00Classifying Cyber Attackers and their motivational Quotients<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Different organizations tend to have their own way of specifying cyber threats. But then again, as it would be the case according to the renowned IT organizations there are just five broad categories of cyber attacks and each one of them have their own and distinct; although sometimes overlapping methods and objectives. Those popularly being:<o:p></o:p></span><br />

This stolen information at times is used for extorting a ransom from the target organization in question. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">-<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Spying <o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">In the present era, the valuable intellectual property of an organization comprises of corporate electronic communications and files as well as traditional R&D outputs. With the theft of IP considered as a persistent threat and the victims not even knowing what has happened – right till the point until someone knocks off the products suddenly appearing in the market, or the patent based on R&D gets registered by another organization. Well, as it would go the crimes in such a case may be either carried out by commercial competitors or state intelligence services seeking to use IP for either R&D or gain high-end business intelligence. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">-<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Conflict between nations or Warfare <o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">With tensions every now and then escalating amongst nations; critical national infrastructure (CNI) such as power, telecoms and financial systems is always a plum target. The Stuxnet attack on Iran’s nuclear establishment is a good example. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">-<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Unleashing Terror Campaigns <o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">With the threat often overlapping with warfare attacks are undertaken by (possibly state-backed) terrorist groups again targeting either state or private assets, in some instances often targeting establishments such as CNI.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

And as it goes organizations need to anticipate such threats by thinking how activists might view the impact of particular actions taken by them on their personal interests</span>. <a href="http://www.pccare247.com/">www.pccare247.com</a></div></div>PCCare247- Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03510960918102749719noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781768292124282807.post-22280252504068944162012-02-28T01:18:00.005-08:002012-09-13T00:56:26.696-07:00Safeguarding Information Resources from Insider Threats<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Insider threats have been around for a long time and if one were to trace them back to the earlier civilization’s, it was in 1800s that the first batch of computers suffered an attack at the hand of malicious insiders. Invented by Joseph-Marie Jacquard of France, it was essentially an automatic loom that ended up boring the brunt of an attack launched by malicious elements.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Careless and negligent insiders pose a similar threat, even if their intentions wouldn’t be considered to be nefarious. Something one could end up carrying out accidently or with purpose; leading to ramifications fraught with adverse consequences. And additionally from there on an investigation into the insider activity would enable one to ascertain whether the same act was carried out with a malicious intent.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">While at the end of the day, human analysis would be essential to protect information from insiders, it is impossible to know if individuals responsible are indeed supported with the right type of security controls. And in such a scenario no black box can be plugged into a network that will mitigate all careless and malicious insider activity. However, then again there are sets of controls which when leveraged collectively could provide strong incident detection, protection and response capabilities across all endpoints, networks, data as and when the requirement be. <a href="http://www.pccare247.com/">www.pccare247.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></div></div>PCCare247- Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03510960918102749719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781768292124282807.post-4564667362311279852012-02-26T23:55:00.005-08:002012-09-13T00:57:07.568-07:00Customer service techniques for building customer loyalty<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Call centres are renowned for offering the highest degree of customer convenience. Without the client having to trot off to a retail location, the caller can not only place orders but also make reservations, check balances, register complaints and ask questions concerning products and prices. However, this convenience comes at a price and conducting business over a phone is never as personalized as a face-to-face interaction. With too many visuals missing – people can't see whom they are speaking with – leading to less than complete communication. And this is exactly where an interminable wait in the call queue or, worse, the handoff fails to make an issue go away.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn69ytKpczmjPzE4rAnyc3GGPz-9S9tn_5ag1ynmMM18ULyAN1YubFzvyYyBnyogAPLBGAVVeo13BIA5dRZUzgFMh29umG857oBO8e0e90A4aOyG_LqFRioo2OUYbz4FzMziJR72FP7OuK/s1600/customer-service.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Online Technical Support" border="0" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn69ytKpczmjPzE4rAnyc3GGPz-9S9tn_5ag1ynmMM18ULyAN1YubFzvyYyBnyogAPLBGAVVeo13BIA5dRZUzgFMh29umG857oBO8e0e90A4aOyG_LqFRioo2OUYbz4FzMziJR72FP7OuK/s320/customer-service.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The cost of convenience comes inclusive of impersonal agents and long virtual lines. Thus, a run around might only end up making clients apprehensive about getting their concerns resolved over the phone. On the contrary, as it might be the case superior client-servicing skills not only help call center agents overcome any caller angst but at the same time only work towards injecting more personality back into a client conversation. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Try and build a rapport</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">To engage a client it is essential to build a rapport. And to build a rapport, modifying the tone, tempo, vocabulary and volume is essential. If the caller is an executive, short, direct language might be required. If the caller is a disgruntled client, a warm, friendly approach using simple language might be the best available option. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Being an Optimist Always Helps<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Phrasing what may be received as bad news can really end up making a difference in the perception of a caller. Cushioning the blow by focusing on the bright side of things always ends up makes things a whole lot simpler. The following response would go a long way towards bringing a conversation to favorable end. Say for instance, the statement "I am so sorry, we no longer carry that item" can be replaced by an approach instead which says, "Our product line has recently been upgraded. The item you requested is now available in a new and improved format. Please, tell us how you would like it to be shipped." <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Proactive Listening<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Before call center agents can go ahead and effectively assist customers, they have to find out what a particular client wants. And for the same to happen, a certain amount of listening to what is being said and isn't being said is required. Agent should use confirmations like "yes," "I see," and "I understand" as verbal substitutes any eye contacts or head nods in an ordinary conversation. Agents should also end up listening "between the lines" for what is left unsaid. Through active listening, agents would create a conversational connection that further ends up reassuring a caller that someone really does care. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Offering an Apology</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Nobody is perfect and no organization would be considered to be fault free. Mistakes happen and when they do happen, a sincere and an unconditional apology would only help in defusing a situation. What's more interesting is that only a genuine apology and proper handling of the complaint can increase customer loyalty. In fact, as research would point out, if clients feel that their concerns are addressed appropriately, 85 percent will continue to be loyal to the organization. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Stay positive</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Customers can often be difficult to tackle. They rarely hold back and all they think of is to just direct their disappointment, dissatisfaction and displeasure at you. But then what can you do to stay upbeat in the face of phone rage? Firstly, avoid the tendency toward "fight or flight." Be proactive. Listen. Put yourself in your customer's shoes. And if the customer continues to be unreasonable, involve your supervisor. Just the thought that someone higher up is now involved will calm many a frustrated customer. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Being responsible helps to quite an extent<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Very often call center agents hide behind the limitations of their computer scripts to avoid dealing with anything unusual. In such cases often scripts provide an efficient way to carry forward seamless customer conversations. It is only when a caller has a concern that there is some or the other sort of deviation from the planned path. Extraordinary customer support always tends to take care of things away from the script.

For all issues on hand superior call center agents are trained to assess all possible requirements. All the more being aware about what resources are available to address a particular need they go ahead and put together people and the resources for getting a job done. By involving clients throughout the process they only end up asking, "How can I help solve this problem? What would you like me to do? Is there anything else I can try for you?"

Yes, even though nowhere near the potency level of the Sasser, MyDoom or Storm Worm, these viruses were developed with the sole aim of creating a self-replicating program rather than one leading to a data loss.</div></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Creeper<o:p></o:p></b></div></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><div style="text-align: justify;">Brought to life in 1971 by BBN employee Bob Thomas, the creeper virus is considered as the very first example of a computer worm. Self-replicating in nature and non-destructive to data, Creeper was initially designed for testing the effectiveness of any code. T<span style="background-color: white;">echnically not</span> considered to be<span style="background-color: white;"> a virus due to its rather passi</span>ve nature, Creeper never ever<span style="background-color: white;"> </span>ended up taking<span style="background-color: white;"> advantage</span> of an exploit on the<span style="background-color: white;"> DEC PDP-10 TENEX systems it came into contact with</span>. </div></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Elk Cloner<o:p></o:p></b></div></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><div style="text-align: justify;">Discovered in 1981 by Rich Skrenta, the Elk Cloner is considered to be the world’s first <span style="color: #0d0e00;">boot sector virus</span>. The virus was first discovered in floppy disks used for booting up the OS, thus leaving it highly vulnerable to attacks. And from here on at any point in time, if a user was to end up booting the OS from an infected floppy, the virus eventually ended up copying itself into a computer’s memory. Whilst the code was not malicious in its orientation, the user would always end up seeing a poem on the 50th boot. Another first scored by the virus was not only did it specifically target the boot sector but it also ended up spreading itself in the wild i.e. outside an environment it was originally written in.</div></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Brain<o:p></o:p></b></div></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><div style="text-align: justify;">Amongst the very first computer virus to be written in 1986 for MS-DOS, the Brain ended up affecting floppy disks, more specifically the boot sector of the DOS File Allocation Table (FAT). It did so by moving the real boot sector elsewhere and marking it as <b>“bad”</b>. Once done, a copy of the virus replaced the real boot sector but hard drives were specifically avoided.</div></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>SCA<o:p></o:p></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 13.6pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Another first, the SCA was written in 1987 by the “Swiss Cracking Association” or “Mega-Mighty SCA”. The group mostly specialized in removing copy protection from floppies and enabling the SCA target the boot sector of write-enabled disks. The virus not only affected write-enabled floppies but also ruined custom boot blocks used by games. The SCA virus eventually also led the same group to release a first of its kind Amiga virus scanner for removing the infection.</div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 13.6pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 13.6pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Morris Worm<o:p></o:p></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 13.6pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;">With a source code preserved on a dusty floppy in the Boston Museum of Science, the Morris Worm is amongst the most famous outbreaks in history – overtly due to a mistake made by its author. In fact, the Morris worm was the first to spread via the Internet and was known to exploit known vulnerabilities in the UNIX operating system. The worm discovered in 1988 in spite of not being considered to be malicious tried to gather information about the size of the Internet. But then what made the worm such an issue was its method of spreading, re-infecting every 1 in 7 PC claiming to be already infected.</div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 13.6pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 13.6pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 13.6pt;">Leap</b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 13.6pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Leap, also sometimes known as the Oompa-Loompa virus was the first to infect Apple’s cherished OS. Not a full-blown outbreak, the virus didn’t get transferred via Internet. At the same time, it also ended up proving no matter how tight the security is there are always going to be potential vulnerabilities. Leap as a virus would always be considered to amongst low threat viruses, albeit at the same time a world-changing one. <a href="http://antivirus.pccare247.com/">antivirus.pccare247.com/</a></div></div></div>PCCare247- Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03510960918102749719noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781768292124282807.post-80007145266656460502012-01-04T04:08:00.002-08:002012-09-13T01:45:52.817-07:00Four Knights in shining armor ready to defend your PC 24X7<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uIzt1PT-amI/TwRBGPJxMKI/AAAAAAAAAHw/7aWfcdnjfuM/s1600/cyber-security.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Spyware Removal" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uIzt1PT-amI/TwRBGPJxMKI/AAAAAAAAAHw/7aWfcdnjfuM/s1600/cyber-security.jpg" /></a>The yearning for openness and ease of access ends up coming with a price. And precisely it is this same need for having the world at our fingertips has led to an exponential increase in cyber crime. With each new advance, criminals and rogue nation states are getting emboldened with opportunities to steal, manipulate, disrupt and destroy. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">But not the one to sit back and relax in an effort to thwart these attacks, the security industry has delivered a range of technologies. Whilst, many of such technologies offer limited benefits and have been quickly shelved, others have gone on to become a de facto standard for sprucing up security in any organizational setup.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">But then again no matter how big the contingency would be there are four knights which are always willing to defend an organization even in the most contingent scenarios. Popularly comprising of:</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>Firewalls </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>Intrusion Prevention Products</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>Anti Virus Software</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>Web Gateways</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Gearing up to mount an effective defense at your behest<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">All PC users know an effective defense against an incoming threat would go a long way in keeping their PC up and running. So, in this regards, as it goes what better way would be there do the same than to spruce up the defenses by means of anything but:</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Firewalls<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">Firewalls are configured with the sole purpose of strictly limiting which systems can communicate with internal systems and what ports could be used for communications. They shield systems and services not generally considered as accessible and otherwise known to be vulnerable. However, in spite of being considered as a necessity for most organizations, firewalls are completely blind when it comes to preventing any targeted and zero-day malware attacks.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Network Intrusion Prevention Systems<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">Network intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and intrusion detection systems (IDS) have been developed to address any firewall’s visibility and granularity limitations. To filter out attacks, IPS solutions inspect network communications and try to understand various application data being transmitted. Earlier IDS solutions performed passive monitoring, thoroughly analyzed network traffic and identified attacks based on signatures of known exploits. But then again as IDS morphed into IPS, these solutions could not prevent attacks in which signatures ended up matching a known exploit. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>Antivirus <o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">Every antivirus application ends up maintaining a large database of known threats. Should at any time a signature of a threat be identified on a system file, it quarantines or removes that file. Here once again, security teams would be required to use a reactive solution for identifying threats well in advance. But then again somewhere down the line as advanced malware and other threats increasingly focused on unknown threats and became more dynamic, an <a href="http://www.pccare247.com/antivirus-support.html" target="_blank">antivirus solution</a> became completely redundant in combating such threats.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>Web Gateways<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">While Web gateways provided some initial security value, attackers have shifted tactics. They have moved to completely dynamic and obfuscated models of both attack delivery and malware communication, rendering lists of malicious Web sites obsolete. Consequently, just as Web gateways started to be widely adopted, they became outmoded from a security perspective. While these technologies still have utility in enforcing HR policies limiting employee Web browsing, in combating modern attacks, Web gateways have been relegated to an increasingly marginal security role. Then again the same is also true of antivirus and other technologies due to a radical shift in tactics adopted cyber criminals.<b><o:p></o:p></b></div></div>PCCare247- Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03510960918102749719noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781768292124282807.post-24304455711586608522012-01-03T21:09:00.002-08:002012-09-13T01:46:57.210-07:00Computers get a shiver down their spine with five deadliest viruses of all time<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>‘Nightmare on Elm Street’</i></b> has its own online <b><i>‘Avatar’</i></b> and this time around it is in the form of five deadly viruses PC users would have ever faced.

But then again, discussing about all viruses is a farfetched scenario, so here I would at best enlighten you about only 5 computer viruses which have over time unleashed <b><i>‘hell’</i></b> on the web. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">Well, what are you waiting for go ahead and fortify your PC’s defense mechanism for the going is certainly going to get ugly.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Evil 5 <o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Klez<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">Released in the online world on October 2001, the Klez virus spreads via email sent from an infected recipient’s email address. To a large extent highly malicious in its intent, the Klez turned up the heat an extra notch. Klez was in fact one of the first viruses to spoof email addresses, replacing the address in the “From” field with any address it so pleased. In a way making detection a difficult prospect as users ended up getting infected via their email address books. Klez as a virus was instrumental in exploiting vulnerability in Internet Explorer’s Trident rendering agent (also used in Outlook and Outlook Express) to wreak its havoc.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b>SQL Slammer Or Sapphire<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">SQL Slammer or otherwise known as Sapphire targeted Microsoft’s SQL Server and Desktop Engine database software while at the same time initiating a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on various targets. Within minutes of infecting the first server, Slammer began doubling its number of infected machines every few seconds. The ATM outlets of Bank of America ended up bearing the brunt of this virus. At the same time, the city of Seattle was unable to take 911 calls for a period and clients travelling via Continental Airlines ended up experiencing ticketing and check-in hassles. The total damages caused by the virus were estimated to the tune of nearly 1 billion dollars.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b>MyDoom<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b>‘MyDoom’</b> started making an appearance in inboxes across the globe in January 2004 and soon became one of the fastest worms to spread across web. Email messages containing the worm were often masked as delivery failures, prompting many to open and investigate the message. On a subsequent click of the attached file the worm would send itself to email addresses found in the local address book while at the same time leaving its replicated version in <b><i>KaZaa’s</i></b> shared folder. The knock-out effect of the virus resulted in placing a severe load on services like Yahoo and Google, thus slowing down a PC user’s web search by a long way. Further, the worm ended up carrying two payloads – one was a backdoor entrance allowing an intruder to control the infected computer and another one was a DDoS attack on the SCO group.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Sasser and Netsky<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">Considered to be amongst one of the most famous outbreaks ever to come into news, Sasser and Netsky are famous not only for their astonishing effectiveness but have been traced back to a 17-year-old German teenager called Sven Jaschan. In spite of being separate viruses, the similarities in the code linked both the viruses to the same individual. Developer whose name was given up by a friend once Microsoft issued a $250,000 bounty. Tried as a minor Sven received a 21-month suspended sentence (and well of course a flurry of job offers from premier security firms).<b><o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Storm Worm <o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">Distributed in email messages with a subject line, <b><i>“230 dead as storm batters Europe”</i></b>, the Storm Worm as a nasty Trojan horse infected a user’s machine with a malware as and when it became active. Over time, the virus has also been seen masquerading behind other news-inspired subject lines. During its nascent stage, the virus ended up spreading at an incredible rate, with one analyst pointing out the company had detected over 200,000 emails containing links to the virus over a period of just days.

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Cautioning employees against visiting small, hosted websites featuring community forums related to sports, computer games and anything deemed suspicious. All because a majority of community forums are hosted by ISP’s not really serious about securing their portal.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Put security protections in place throughout the organization and install regular updates for applications meant to boost the computer’s OS.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">While visiting a website observe the quality of the site. If the site appears to be quickly put together, lack a browsing disclaimer, it indicates the authors are not liable to any danger to the PC.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Be cautious about installing any software (especially software such as download accelerators, spyware removal tools). Don’t click on pop ups asking for a download or execution of otherwise privileged operations. Often such software and pop-ups are malware embedded.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Select your anti-virus vendor with a lot of due deliberation, ensuring the application not only provides coverage for key threats but also responds quickly when threats are introduced. Trial versions of the application are a strict </span><b style="text-indent: -0.25in;">NO!</b><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> Since, viruses introduced after a trial version would end up having an unhindered access to a PC. <a href="http://www.pccare247.com/">www.pccare247.com</a></span></li>

Ho! Ho! </b>Santa is coming to wish <b><i>‘netizens’</i></b> Merry Christmas on Facebook!! But watch out, for the Grinch is masquerading as Santa this Christmas and he has a malware up his sleeve; sugar coated as a theme for your Facebook profile.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">The latest attack uses social engineering as a potent tool for luring people into installing a malicious browser plugin. And once people get sucked into the bait of clicking on the Like button, the page redirects them to a URL where a malicious plugin named Free Cheesecake Factory Coupons get installed on the PC.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">With the plugin once activated affected users get their walls flooded with the catchy status, "Get Christmas Theme for FB, a free Christmas Theme for all FB users”. Caught by the antivirus software this file is christened as <b><span style="color: red;">TROJ_REDIR.CU.</span></b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">So, next around you want to make merry this Christmas season be careful because cyber criminals are for sure launching attacks using the holiday season as a big lure.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

But then suddenly you wake one fine morning and end up finding your official portal has been hacked. Hackers Inc. have ended up punching gaping holes in the security. Leaving you with a persistent bot; now what? <br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>Hacking Back In Self-Defense<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SPzdMG27gY8/Tvg80EjbIYI/AAAAAAAAAF8/N00iRMxa_v8/s1600/Hackers_Animated_PCCare247.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Online Tech Support" border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SPzdMG27gY8/Tvg80EjbIYI/AAAAAAAAAF8/N00iRMxa_v8/s320/Hackers_Animated_PCCare247.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>The bottom-line is hackers Inc. is pulling out all strings to screw up security systems. And organizations need to take a good hard look at every available vista for stopping the loss of their money, technology and secrets. With new laws being explored, old ones being amended and solutions sought, it is about time an outside the box thinking was adopted and good guys in the bargain were given advantage or at least a fighting chance. Although technically difficult but clearly feasible, adopting a clear, forward, out-of-the-box thinking and analysis to put back get thing chugging along.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Haul the crooks by scruff of their neck <o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">Nations can legally defend themselves but what about organizations? Bound by legal compulsions and a code of conduct they really can’t end up going beyond a certain limit. But then with one hundred percent security considered to be a myth, what does one really do? </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">With standard responses considered to be slow and in many cases not very effective, it is a presumption a business cannot reach beyond its own network for blocking an attacker in self-defense. However, I strongly intend to strike a discordant note! Even though refraining from advocating vigilantism, in reality the war in the cyberspace is being lost and it is about time one did a hard rethink on existing strategies and laws. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">Not the one to mince any words further, it is really about time we went in for a hard rethink. Opening up a dialogue and moving the conversation further down the road to shape better responses, solutions, and laws. In the retrospect not even shying away from advocating organizations of using an automated code going beyond their network and eliminating threat via a self-defense master stroke.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Getting into the technicality of it all<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">To get rid of that nasty Trojan, Virus or a Bot put into the system, what if were to suggest that you ended up implanting a code on the phone-home function or communication function of the bot so that when it was to end up communicating with the <b>CnC server</b> for instructions, the communication path would be blocked or cut off by the code at the <b>CnC server</b>? Does it sound like a perfect solution? Not even close, so what, you are at a liberty to try other measures to finally nail the nasty bot. Is this hacking? Is it gaining unauthorized access to or trespassing on a computer system? </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">I really don’t think so, for at the end of the day my ideology of <b>‘fighting fire with fire’</b> is really what ends up giving a befitting reply to those unworthy hackers. <a href="http://www.pccare247.com/">www.pccare247.com</a></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
