How Maybank2u Scamming Works

Maybank, being #1 bank in the country undoubtedly makes its more vulnerable to phishing attacks. I'm sure most of us have received emails regarding 'Security Alert from Maybank' asking to update our account information.

This email looks familiar?

When you click the link to 'Unlock Account', a login page appeared. It looks very convincingly similar to the authentic Maybank2u website. Take a look at the comparison image below...

The fake link. Note the URL address redirects to some weird address

The authentic link. Note the security signature on the 'tiger' logo on the url bar, and secured url (https) and also the 'locked padlock' icon on the bottom left of the window

That's the reason why logging in to your bank account from email link is a badddddd idea. ALWAYS log in to your online account via original bank address (http://www.maybank2u.com.my/ in this case, and login from there)

Now, back to the fake login page. I managed to bypass the security system to login to my account. See below

My dumbass account

After that, it will ask you to enter your TAC number...

Once you gave up your TAC, you'll be milked dry...

Finally, you will get a friendly message saying "Your account is being verified by our security team. Do not login to your account within the next 48 hours so as not to cause error(s) in our database."

Why 48 hours, you might ask? Because by then your bank account will be milked dry by the syndicate. Please do not login before 48 hours, otherwise you'll messed up our database. For a bank who conducts billions of ringgit worth of transaction every day, its that easy to messed up the database, eh? Sounds phishy.....

How to bridge DSL-520B with WRT-54GC

Most IT shops don't sell modem anymore. After my free TM modem Riger DB102 went kaput, I went to buy just that. But, most modem now comes with router function. But since I already have Linksys wireless router WRT54GC, something has to be done to disable router function of my new D-Link DSL-520B. I thought I might share this with anyone who might have same problem. Different brands might have different solution, but at least I got mine :) These are the screenshots and some brief description

1. Reset both the modem router and wireless router
2. Connect ONLY modem router to your PC. Set it up so that you can connect to the internet
3. Login to the admin page http://192.168.1.1. Default username/password is : admin/admin

4. On the left hand side panel, go to Advanced Setup > WAN > Add

 5. Leave the defaults of PORT, VPI, VCO as 0, 0, 35 respectively. Service Category, choose UBR without PCR

6.  Connection type : Bridging
     Encapsulation Mode : LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING

7. Leave to default. Click next

8. Summary of setup. Click next

 

9. Click Save/Reboot

10. Connect Linksys wireless router. The settings we did just now are to disable the router functions in the modem router. Now it only function as modem. All the routing work is done by the wireless router

11.That's it! Hope it works for you

Want to get rich? Do spam!

from www.computerweekly.com

Spammers are making profit even though they are only getting one response for every 12.5 million e-mails they send, researchers who hacked into the infamous Storm spam network have found.

The spam study was carried out by computer scientists from University of California Berkeley and University of California San Diego.

For the month-long study the computer scientists infiltrated the Storm network, which uses hijacked home computers as relays for junk mail.

At its height, Storm is believed to have had more than one million machines under its control.

The researchers created several "proxy bots" on the Storm network to send out their own spam.

The team used these machines to control a total of 75,869 hijacked machines on the network and routed their own fake spam campaigns through them.

Linked to the spam e-mails they sent out, the team created a legitimate looking pharmacy site selling "male enhancement herbal remedies".

The fake pharmacy site was made to resemble those run by Storm's real owners, but it always returned an error message when potential buyers clicked a button to submit their credit card details.

The researchers sent about 350 million email messages over 26 days, which resulted in only 28 sales.

The response rate for the campaign was less than 0.00001%. Direct mail campaigns aim for 2.15%.

Even though the experiment saw a poor conversion rate, the researchers said that by sending out many more messages, the owners of the Storm network could be earning £4,500 a day, or £1.6m a year.

How to disable Internet button in K800i

I have a conspiracy theory (or maybe a good marketing strategy), that the internet button in Sony Ericsson K800i (also true for K610i and more) is located in such a convenient location so that you might accidentally pressed it while the phone is in your pocket.

Plus, data transfer is not cheap. With Maxis, 1kB = 1 cent. That's a lot of cents if you use the internet button everyday.

Here is the trick to save your cents, on how to disable the Internet button. You can change so it will display your cat picture instead.
1. Press Activity menu key. Go to Internet tab --> select Bookmarks
2. Create new bookmark. In address, put this : file:///card/image/cat.jpg or whatever picture you want to put it. OR file:///card/ .I did the latter, as it will go nowhere. Just a white spash screen and back to standy
3. Save --> Set as homepage
4. Done!
