"Identity Theft - How Much Are You Worth" posted by ~Ray

Not only that but it’s a relatively safe crime to commit. Law enforcement estimates that only 1 in 7,000 hackers is convicted. And that’s a low estimate. It’s very difficult to gather all the evidence to put them behind bars. No wonder so many hackers succumb to the lure of easy money. Identity thieves don’t just steal your personal information for only themselves to use. There’s a bunch of well funded international criminals willing to pay good money for your personal information. Hackers can make money by finding your numbers and selling them. Quite a nasty litte work at home job. Bank account numbers along with authentication codes are the most valuable commodities. They can easily bring from $30 to a whopping $400. The more money you have available in your account the higher the asking price. They are the second most advertised numbers for sale on the underground black market. Credit card numbers are the most popular items for sale. Even though they bring considerably less money than bank numbers they are the easiest to steal. Their value is anywhere from $.50 to $5. for the first six months of 2007 banking information and credit cards amounted to 43% of the information available for sale in the criminal community. The next most valuable piece of info is your email password. It can bring from $1 - $150 depending on whether your account has been used for spamming previously. Email passwords allow access to an email account and are typically used for sending spam. They can also be used to recover a user’s passwords from various Web sites that will email password-reset information to the user’s email account. Here’s another kick - email accounts with usernames in standard English are generally higher priced. Kinda makes you want to change your name to "Qwerty". Your full identity goes for $10 - $150. That includes name. DOB address and social security number. Surprisingly your social security number will fetch a paltry $5 - $7. They are more valuable when attached to the rest of your personal info. Bot infected computers are the most common way. They can be in your personal computer or in a company or organization. Bots can also be used by attackers to harvest confidential information from compromised computers which can lead to identity theft. Furthermore they can be used to distribute spam and phishing attacks as well as spyware and adware. Between January 1and June 30. 2007. Symantec observed an average of 52,771 active bot-infected computers per day make it even easier to snoop through your computer. Security breaches are another huge way thieves get information. Finding a spreadsheet with thousands of credit card numbers worth 50 cents or more is a big payday. Even though hard drives on stolen laptops are generally encrypted hackers can usually break the code. Remember how fast the iPhone was hacked? It’s now bringing in more money than drug trafficking. From a thief’s point of view online identity theft is a safe and profitable business. Don’t look for it to slow down any time in the near future.

"Configuring registration so it does not e-mail out passwords" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-08-10 15:14:00

SMF Version: SMF 1.1.4How can I configure SMF to not e-mail passwords out to new members?By fail. SMF e-mails new members the password they just typed into the registration create. This causes passwords to be carelessly strewn and saved in pain text across computers from the SMF server to the members' computers. Just like passwords should not be displayed on screens passwords should also not be e-mailed (except for temporary passwords created when users drop their password). While it's true that many web sites do alter the breach of e-mailing new passwords. I definitely don't be my web site to be one of them. It seems like this should be a simple configuration item but I can't find it in the admin divide. Thanks.- Dem Maybe turning off Send welcome telecommunicate to new members in registration settings might achieve this? A welcome message is a good thing. I would rather not disable that. But it just isn't good to put the password in plain text into the welcome message. Also. I have "Method of registration employed for new members" set to "Member Activation" so an e-mail needs to be sent.- Dem I evaluate the configuration/text of the welcome message can be open in the Login. English php file. You'll notice a few register text strings that compose the password. Try removing those references and it shouldn't send the password.

I end up forgetting my password on a few of them some times. Of cover you could have the same password for each one but I’m in IT and and I’ll about multiple passwords for security reasons. Either way you can use a nifty little program from NirSoft called that you can use to recovery Instant Messenger passwords. Another schedule I had written about earlier from NirSoft helped those who needed to recover passwords for telecommunicate clients such as Outlook or Gmail called. MessenPass works in the same way as send PassView by revealing your password and username. It supports many Instant Messenger applications including The program can only be use to acquire the passwords for the current logged in user on the local computer. Also it only works if you undergo chosen to remember the password in any of the above mentioned programs. It can’t show the passwords if you do not have it saved. Another program that you can use to recover MSN Messenger. Windows Live and Windows Messenger passwords is. Again however this program requires that the password already be saved where you can you log on automatically. Another good program for recovering instant messenger passwords is.

"Hacker Steals Thousands of Emails and Passwords" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-20 20:38:57

After an contend over ConvioConvio a web software company based on eCRM solutions and working with several non-profit organizations confirmed that a hacker managed to obtain thousandsof emails and numerous passwords after he broke into GetActive. This technology provided by the affiliate is used by the non-profit organizations to send e-mails which means it contained lots of contact details along with passwords and other type of information. Among the registered organizations that collaborate with Convio. I can mention the most popular one: The American Red Cross. Red go across spokeswoman. Stephanie Millian told Reuters that approximately 278,000 e-mail addresses were stolen after the cut attack over the Convio software targeted a hard drive containing the affected technology. "She said the Red Cross notified affected users Nov. 14," Reuters noted. Gene Austin. CEO of Convio published a notification on the official website of the company to inform the consumers about the attack and to give advices concerning a potential exploit of the information stolen by the hackers."There was no loss of ascribe card numbers in the attack," the official noted. Obviously you're advised to change your password in case you use the same secret word for other online technologies and avoid publishing your private information on websites promoted by e-mail because they might be some dangerous phishing attacks."We also recommend that you be on the alert regarding e-mail that appears to be from a brand-name organization and urges you to visit a web place to provide personal or financial information because your account may have been compromised or deactivated," Gene Austin wrote. "Neither Convio. GetActive nor any of our nonprofit clients ordain ever ask you to provide such personal information via an email. You should not visit the promoted web site and should delete any such e-mail you receive one."

"Tor Researcher Who Exposed Embassy E-mail Passwords Gets Raided by ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 16:27:56

Dan Egerstad the Swedish computer security consultant I interviewed in August who obtained access and password information for 1,000 e-mail accounts belonging to foreign embassies corporations and human rights organizations had his house raided on Monday by Swedish officials who took him in for questioning. Egerstad (at right) said that on Monday morning as he was leaving his apartment in Malmo to move his car he opened his front door to find five plainclothes men standing at the entrance. Four of the agents showed him identification but one of them wouldn’t show him identification or give his name. He says the four with IDs belonged to the Swedish National Police (the country’s domestic agency) and the fifth one was an agent of the SAPO (Sweden’s CIA). The agents had driven to Malmo from Stockholm to conduct the raid.
