Nieuwste anti-virus software van MYSecurityCenter voor vijfde maal uitgeroepen tot beste beveiligingsprogramma wereldwijd!

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012
 

Het is nu eindelijk een feit! MYSecurityCenter werkt voortaan samen met Bitdefender, wiens software door het meest invloedrijke anti-virus testorgaan AV-Test.org tot vijf maal toe als ´World´s Best Antivirus´ bestempeld werd.

 

Dankzij deze nieuwe samenwerking kan MYSecurityCenter – leider in beveiliging voor PC en Internet – nu het beste en meest efficiënte anti-virusproduct ter wereld aanbieden. 

 

In een persbericht van 11 april jgl. publiceerde AV-test.org zijn meest recente testresultaten, waarin 23 anti-virusprogramma’s met elkaar vergeleken werden. Bitdefender kwam voor de vijfde keer als de grote overwinnaar uit de bus, met een score van 17 punten. Nu dezelfde technologie van de prijsgekroonde Bitdefender gebruikt wordt in het anti-virusproduct “MYInternetSecurity”, is MYSecurityCenter een grote stap dichterbij, om de beste beveiligingsoplossing ter wereld aan te kunnen bieden.

 

Waar we ons de laatste maanden vooral op gefocust hebben is op gebruiksvriendelijkheid, klantenservice en ondersteuning. De vele positieve beoordelingen op verschillende sites waaronder bijvoorbeeld Trustpilot, is het bewijs dat we op goede weg zijn. Het is dan ook normaal dat we nu streven om daarnaast over de aller beste technologie te beschikken, aldus Janus R. Nielsen, CEO bij MYSecurityCenter.

-MYSecurityCenter heeft als streefdoel, enkel de beste producten en service aan te bieden. Volgens de onafhankelijke beoordelingswebsite Trustpilot is MYSecurityCenter de nummer 1 van alle bedrijven die beveiligingssoftware verdelen wat service en klantenondersteuning betreft. Dit gekoppeld aan de beste technologie dankzij de samenwerking met Bitdefender, brengt MYSecurityCenter ertoe in staat, een nog betere marktpositie in te nemen. 

-We hebben de laatste 2 jaar zelf in ons labo heel wat software en technologie getest en uiteindelijk besloten om met Bitdefender in zee te gaan, vanwege de hoge kwaliteit en leiderspositie van hun producten, verklaart Janus R. Nielsen.

 

MYSecurityCenter zal de nieuwe anti-virus producten op de markt brengen vanaf 30 mei.

The 2011 scammer-trend: Phishing emails

Friday, January 20th, 2012

Don´t be fooled by scammers. Hear what happened to one of our customers when she received a phishing email from a man requesting counseling and a health check-up.

You have probably heard about the so called phishing emails, were scammers try to “fish” money out of innocent people´s accounts approaching them via more or less trustworthy looking emails. In 2011 this trend increased significantly making it one of the most common security threats for PC users.

One of MYSecurityCenter´s customers, practitioner Rumana Zahn wrote us an email telling about her experience with scammers pretending to be interested in two weeks of yoga retreat, checkups and counseling for a group of ten people.

Rumana Zahn took the request seriously to begin with, she almost followed through, but luckily she got suspicious. The scammers asked her if they could pay her for full fee including their interpreter´s fee which meant that she should pay their interpreter directly. The trick consisted in the fact that the fraudsters would pay over the net with a stolen credit card. Out of the 7,000 euros they would transfer, she could keep her fee of 2,000 and the rest she would transfer by bank to their translator, which of course was part of the scammer team. That way she would participate in laundering stolen money, which is illegal. She was repeatedly asked whether she accepted credit card payment, but since she had no possibility of accepting this form of payment, she asked the fraudsters to make a bank transfer. She began to get suspicious when she received a second email in which he repeated his questions about credit card payment.

“I began to suspect the whole thing being a hoax, although I actually thought that the approach initially sounded serious. I guess it would have meant me having to be liable. Very clever indeed”, Rumana Zahn says. She asked them to pay by bank transfer or PayPal but she never received an answer.

“Since then I get an email like this twice a year – it’s very similar – a group coming, please arrange. Another friend of mine got the same email two years ago”.

Rumana Zahn is just one of many people who have been attacked by scammers sending out fake emails. Read this newsletter´s Tips and Tricks on what to keep in mind when a phishing email hits you in 2012.

Thanks to Rumana Zahn for telling us her story.
See one of the original phishing emails below.

From: johnsonwilliams400 [mailto:johnsonwilliams400@gmail.com]
Sent: Wed 02 November 2011 15:21
To: j.williams2000@rocketmail.com
Subject: Inquiry

Greetings,

I want to book for 2 weeks checkups and counseling, 1 or 2 hours each

will be coming for a one month vacation/holiday from 29th Nov 2011 and
in line with our plans we will require 2 weeks Natural Therapy to help
maintain healthy body due to the nature of our job and also to make
our stay fun. The checkups and counseling should basically be on
Naturopathic consultations or any other Natural Therapy you can offer.

Please let me know if your clinic can handle this for us and get back
to me with requirements to enable me contact you with more
clarifications. Also confirm if you can arrange a one on one checkups
and counseling for us or if its better in group.

Awaits your email.

Tips and Tricks

Friday, January 20th, 2012
 

Avoid falling for phishing-emails!

 

• Do not reply on emails or pop-ups asking for personal or financial information.

 

• If you are not sure about the reliance of the email, check up on the contact information. Open a new internet browser session and type in the company´s web address yourself. Don´t click on any links in the email and don’t copy and paste the link from the message, it could be a fake link.

 

• Check that the name in the website from the email is not changed slightly. For instance spelling Microsoft as Microsofts or Mircosoft.

 

• Make sure your antivirus, antispyware and firewall are updated. Antivirus software scans incoming communications for troublesome files and warns you before you download harmful files. A firewall helps make you invisible on the Internet and blocks all communications from unauthorized sources.

 

• If the email contains errors, spelling mistakes or if the text simply does not sound good, stay away!

 

• Check that the sender of the email is the same as the company stated to be behind the email.

 

• Don’t email personal or financial information. Email is not a secure communication method. Normally proper companies as your bank would never ask you to email them your passwords or credit card number.

 

• Review your bank account or credit card statements every week. That gives you time to react on any unauthorized payment or transactions. If you see something suspicious, contact your bank immediately.

 

• Report spam and phishing-emails to FBI via Internet Fraud Complaint Center on www.ifcbi.gov. They collaborate with the authorities worldwide about closing down the phishing-websites and identifying the scammers behind. You can also report it to Anti-Phishing Working Group (an e-commerce-community) on reportphishing@antiphishing.org.

Worst passwords in 2011 – is yours one of them?

Friday, January 20th, 2012
 

We all know that having a strong and difficult to guess password is important. However, a recent report from SplashData on the 25 most common passwords in 2011 shows that internet users still go for hackable and easy to remember passwords. The list is generated from millions of stolen passwords posted online by hackers.

 

Take a look and see if your password is on the list. To create a strong one, we recommend both upper and lower case letters combined with numbers and symbols. Sometimes it is easier to remember whole sentences like my_dog_is_sweet1 or house_on_fire! instead of singular words.
Remember also to change your passwords regularly.

 

1. password
2. 123456
3. 12345678
4. qwerty
5. abc123
6. monkey
7. 1234567
8. letmein
9. trustno1
10. dragon
11. baseball
12. 111111
13. iloveyou
14. master
15. sunshine
16. ashley
17. bailey
18. passw0rd
19. shadow
20. 123123
21. 654321
22. superman
23. qazwsx
24. michael
25. football
