Summary: This episode discusses the different attachments that are associated with phishing. Phishing is an attempt to gain sensitive information from computers. Since 2018 they noticed a trend that IOS image file is becoming a leading factor in phishing techniques and opening the IOS files can expose your device to malicious malware that can obtain your sensitive and personal information. Also, they mentioned text messages being sent out impersonating hospitals to get people to click links to install malware on your devices.  The text message would say something along the lines of “ This Plantsville Hospital Messaging your relatives are with us now you should call us ASAP”. The red flags of the text messages included the usage of broken English, not stating which relative is in the hospital, and the link had a “.fund” domain which hospitals do not typically use.

Informed thoughts: Phishing is something we all should watch out for because as we all know as technology advances so do the techniques bad guys use to commit crimes. In my opinion, people are becoming crueler by the minute because it takes a cruel person to send a text stating that your loved one is in the hospital. Not even thinks quickly notice red flags especially during the time of panic. I can agree that it’s a clever idea to that is but it’s still mean. I typical receives text messages from companies I have never heard of offering me a job and in the text, a message will be a link for me to click. I am going to say that it could be the same scam happening just different people doing it. All in all, some type of training should be done to help people understanding what phishing is and how to fight.

Summary: This episode Dave from cyber wire discuss the reviews of Google account hygiene security report. Account hygiene is when the user goes through a series of the verification process to ensure the authenticity of the account users. Google found that multistep verification is effective in stopping phishing attacks. The multi-step verification included an SMS step that sends a link to your phone that prompts you with the next verifications steps. Results concluded that 38% of the users did not remember the second email they provided and 34% of the people did not have their phones readily available. Googles multistep verification that includes the SMS recovery is highly effective and efficient.

Informed thoughts: As a Google user myself, there have been times where I signed in to my email on different devices and I was prompted to verify that I was the primary account holder. Another cool thing that Google does, is sent out an email to you, that your email has been accessed by a different device. So, Google multi-step verification does work, and I concur. Google cares about its users and tries to take the security of its users seriously. As a Google user, I am appreciative for the extra effort they put in to keep me safe. In addition, sometimes in the emails that they send out, they include the location that your account was accessed. This means that Google has memorized the location and device that you frequently use your account and if they sense a change their security system picks up on and ask you to verify, which is very cool and helpful to users to fight phishing and fraud attacks.

           Summary: On this episode of hacking humans the discussion is about a company’s HR department being impersonated. Someone has taken information from the company’s website and utilizes it to post fake job openings on Indeed, ZipRecruiter and LinkedIn. People that apply for these positions are interviewed online using a video chat system google hangouts. Then once the person is hired, they are asked to provide a check for payroll purposes. Finally, the HR impersonators write checks in the person’s name and cash them. The actual company had no knowledge of this happening until the fake future employees contacted them.

           Informed Thoughts: I am deeply saddened by this episode because it is a great example of the tangible and intangible loss the fraud victims face. Basically, these scammers are going to great lengths to commit check fraud crimes. I am not sure how a person can recover from something like this they quit their old jobs to start a new job that does not exist, and large amounts of money have been cashed out in their names. The rational choice theory of criminology suggests that people make choice depending on the cost and the benefits. This means that people will weigh out their options before deciding. If the cost is more than the benefit than there is the likelihood that they did not make the decision. On the contrary, if the benefits are higher than the cost, they will make those decisions.  In this case, the HR impersonators see committing this check fraud beneficial because how they do it, and as of right now probably does not see how the consequences will be once they get caught. Scammers and hackers are in the lead because they are finding creative ways to commit these crimes.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE Let’s say it’s 6.15pm and you’re going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!! NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE… Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can perhaps buy precious time to get themselves to a phone and dial 911.
